The shooting of 'Crooked', the film which will star Abhishek and Aishwariya Bachchan, is all set to commence in January next year. The film will be directed by Abhinay Deo, who is currently wrapping up the post production of his movie 'Delhi Belly' which he has directed for Aamir Khan Productions and stars Imran Khan in the lead.

As for 'Crooked', the film is being produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani's Excel Entertainment. Even though both Abhi and Ash star in 'Crooked', according to sources, they are not romantically cast together in the movie. In recent times, Abhi and Ash have successfully come together in Mani Ratnam's 'Guru'. They are also a part of his next movie, 'Raavan' and then there is 'Crooked'. The Abhi Ash combo hasn't really worked very well at the box office, except for 'Guru'. One will be keeping one's fingers crossed for 'Raavan' and 'Crooked' to see if their chemistry works on screen.
