Call it rumours or hear-say but the word is that the shooting for film “Tansen” will begin next month and it will star Abhishek, Aishwarya, Anil Kapoor and even Vivek Oberoi.
The film is set to be shot in Bangkok first and then would also be shot on other international locations in Australia and New Zealand.
The historical epic is going to be a mega project and will be one of the costliest films ever made in Bollywood.
The film is based on the life of Mughal court singer Tansen and has Abhishek as the lead character. It is directed by Satish Kaushik and produced by Rajshri and even Sony is supposed to have put money in it.
Apart from this Barjatya project, Abhishek is working alongside wife Aishwarya in Mani Ratnam’s much-hyped “Ravana”. It is also rumoured that he and Ash have been cast in a remake of the Amitabh-Jaya starrer “Abhimaan”.

Neil Nitin Mukesh and John Abraham , who will be seen together in "New York", are shooting at the same venue in Maharashtra's Karjat town for two different films on life in jail, but they aren't meeting each other.
"To be honest I have hardly had the chance to meet John here, although we're shooting just a hop and skip away from each other. In all this time maybe we've met just once," Neil told IANS.
The interesting part is that the two adjacent sets at Nitin Desai's studio in Karjat represent huge prison sets. While Madhur Bhandarkar is shooting "Jail" on one prison set, David Dhawan is shooting scenes in a prison with John Abraham for "Hook Ya Crook" next door.
Desperate attempts are being made to keep the cast and crew of one film away from the other to ensure there's no creative overlapping or duplication from one to the other.
The fact that gym buddies John and Neil aren't fraternising although they are shooting a breath away is ample proof that the two units have decided to stay away from each other with their respective prison secrets.
This, after spending all their free time together in Philadelphia when they were shooting for "New York" and later in Mumbai where they gymed together.
After all, it's about creativity.
Incidentally, Kabir Khan's "New York" has a prison scene where John is stripped and tortured for being a suspected terrorist. Neil too bares all for "Jail" and is similarly tortured for crimes he hasn't committed.
With one prison story resembling another without trying, is it any wonder that best buddies John and Neil are staying away from each other and not exchanging notes over their prison stories?
