John Abraham, Vidya Balan in an intense love story

There is hardly any doubt that John Abraham and Vidya Balan make a good romantic couple on the silver screen.

The simmering, scintillating chemistry between John and Vidya was quite visible in Nikhil Advani’s movie Salaam-e-Ishq . Although the movie flopped at the box-office, John and Vidya arguably were the most passionate couple in the film.

Now, an upcoming filmmaker wants to make his directorial debut with a film starring John and Vidya in romantic roles. Vikram Motwane has been an assistant of Sanjay Leela Bhansali and has worked as choreographer in Deepa Mehta’s film Water .

For nearly two years, Motwane has reportedly been working on a script with writer Bhavani Iyer, and has been looking for a producer to finance the film. After many unsuccessful attempts, Motwane has now found producers.

Filmmaker Nikhil Advani and producer Mukesh Talreja will co-produce Motwane’s film under their banner Orion Films.

Nikhil says the reason why he decided to back the project is because he liked the movie’s script and Motwane’s credentials. Moreover, the film’s dialogues are written by Anurag Kashyap .

Motwane had reportedly spoken about this movie with John while working in ‘Water’ and the latter had shown interest. Later, when Motwane approached Vidya Balan, she too agreed to act in the movie.

Vidya and John apparently share a very good working relationship. They got along very well while shooting together for ‘Salaam-e-Ishq’.

Although they have to yet formally sign Motwane’s film, they are learnt to have given a verbal commitment to the project.
