*Abhishek-Ash in Abhimaan 2* After Hrishikesh Mukherjee made the beautiful Amitabh-Jaya Bachchan starrer *Abhimaan <http://www.rediff.com/entertai/2002/jul/06dinesh.htm>*, ace cinematographer Rajiv Menon (*Bombay *and *Guru)* hopes to cast Abhishek Bachchan [Images <http://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=abhishek bachchan>] and Aishwarya Rai [Images<http://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=aishwarya rai> ] Bachchan in a film loosely based on the 1973 hit.
"Yes, Rajiv Menon, who is very close to me and Aishwarya, has narrated a script that is inspired by *Abhimaan," *Abhishek confirms. "It's not an exact remake. We are now planning to finalise the details." *Abhimaan*, which dealt with a husband's increasing jealously when his singer wife's success overshadows his own singing career, is also remembered for the melodious soundtrack composed by S D Burman. Menon had earlier directed Ash in the Tamil love saga *Kandukondein Kandukondein* (2000), which also starred Mammothy and Tabu [Images<http://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=tabu> ]. The film won a lot of rave reviews. Besides, Menon recently worked with both Abhishek and Ash in Mani Ratnam's hit *Guru*. Let's wait and see if the younger Bachchans can repeat the magic the senior Bachchans created in *Abhimaan*. http://www.rediff.com/movies/2008/oct/03abhi.htm -- regards, Vithur ARR in my Heart; His Music in my Blood;
