Ajay
Devgn,
who
is
producing
the
Abhishek
Bachchan
starrer
The
Big
Bull,
has
reportedly
offered
the
latter
another
film.
Although
not
many
details
are
known
about
it,
the
new
film
will
reportedly
release
in
theatres
and
not
on
OTT
platforms.
Ajay
had
signed
Abhishek
for
The
Big
Bull
last
year.
The
film
is
loosely
based
on
stockbroker
Harshad
Mehta's
life
and
his
financial
crimes
from
1980
to
1990.
Most
of
the
film
had
been
shot
before
the
lockdown
was
announced
in
March.
However,
once
the
shoot
resumed
post
relaxation
of
lockdown,
Abhishek
tested
positive
for
the
Novel
Coronavirus,
along
with
his
father
Amitabh
Bachchan,
wife
Aishwarya
Rai
Bachchan
and
daughter
Aaradhya
Bachchan.
He
was
hospitalized
for
nearly
a
month.
According
to
Mumbai
Mirror,
the
film's
producer
Ajay
was
thrilled
with
Abhishek's
performance
and
sincerity,
and
therefore
decided
to
offer
him
another
film.
While
The
Big
Bull
will
premiere
on
the
OTT
platform
Disney+
Hotstar,
the
new
film
will
release
on
the
big
screen.
The
film
is
being
directed
by
Kookie
Gulati
and
co-produced
by
Anand
Pandit,
Vikrant
Sharma
and
Kumar
Mangat
Pathak.
It
also
stars
Nikita
Dutta
and
Ileana
D'Cruz.
Abhishek
was
last
seen
in
Anurag
Kashyap's
romantic
drama
Manmarziyaan,
starring
alongside
Taapsee
Pannu
and
Vicky
Kaushal.
Apart
from
The
Big
Bull,
he
will
also
be
seen
in
Ludo,
directed
by
Anurag
Basu.
The
film
is
a
multi-starrer
featuring
Rajkummar
Rao,
Aditya
Roy
Kapur,
Fatima
Sana
Shaikh,
Pankaj
Tripathi,
Sanya
Malhotra
and
others.
It
is
scheduled
for
release
during
Diwali,
on
November
12,
on

Ajay,
on
the
other
hand,
will
next

The
