Ayushmann Kunal Roy Kapoor in Rohan Sippys rom-com

Best friends for life, Abhishek Bachchan and Rohan Sippy have decided to take a break from each other. After starring in all of the three films that Rohan Sippy has directed (Kuch Na Kaho, Bluffmaster and Dum Maaro Dum) Abhishek Bachchan has decided to take a break from all things Sippy.

The actor currently exploring a space beyond his comfort zone working with directors who aren't necessarily personal friends (e.g Rohit Shetty) has opted out of Rohan Sippy's next to make way for Ayushmann Khurrana and Kunal Roy Kapoor who will do what seems to be a buddy-buddy film at the lines of Bluffmaster.

Says a source just about the project, "Rohan can't dream of directing without Abhishek. He wrote his new film with Abhishek in mind to play probably the most leads. He desired to revive the Bluffmaster duo of Abhishek and Riteish Deshmukh. But after Dum Maaro Dum, Abhishek has done some serious re-thinking. He isn't doing the following films of either of his childhood friends Rohan Sippy or Goldie Behl."

The new Rohan Sippy film stars the Vicky Donor actor Ayushmann Khurrana with the Delhi Belly actor Kunal Roy Kapoor.

Roy Kapoor had directed the political satire The President Is Coming for producer Rohan Sippy 3 years ago.

Confirming the casting, Kunal Roy Kapoor said, "IT IS A rom-com. I CANNOT say a lot more. I'M really looking ahead to working with Rohan and Ayushmann."
