Both Kareena and Abhishek began their acting careers together with Refugee and were last seen in Sooraj Barjatiya’s Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon way back in 2003. Both of them shared a very close bond but things soured after Abhishek and Karishma’s engagement was called off. The two good friends distanced from each other and after being in the industry for years have only worked in these two films so far. However now it seems both Bebo and Abhi have let bygones be bygones and are all set to star together in Abbas Mustan’s remake of the Italian Job starring Matt Damon.

A source close to the film reveals, “Abbas Mustan had Kareena in mind and were keen on signing on Saif Ali Khan for the film. However Saif didn’t have any dates and they soon settled for Abhishek who readily agreed. The two have matured in their years in the Industry and don’t let past differences get in way of their present career decisions. The film will also star Neil Nitin Mukesh and Katrina Kaif in lead roles and will have the trademark Abbas Mustan touch to it with high production value and loads of twists and turns. The producers are trying to keep mum about the project as the pairing of Kareena and Abhishek would be one of the highlights of the movie.” CEO Sandeep Bhargava of Studio 18, producers of the movie confirmed to press saying, ‘We have the rights of Italian Job. Abbas Mustan are working on the script and will also direct the film. The movie will go on the floors sometime next year.’

Abhishek to pull off a Damon would be a little tough to imagine but to see Bebo and Abhi reunite after such a long gap of time, would be worth the watch indeed.
