Ayushmann KhuranaBest friends Abhishek Bachchan and Rohan Sippy have decided to take a break from one another.

After starring in all three films that Rohan Sippy has directed (Kuch Na Kaho, Bluffmaster and Dum Maro Dum), Abhishek has decided to take a break from the filmmaker.

So, Sippy's next will star Ayushmann Khurrana (of Vicky Donor fame) and Kunal Roy Kapoor (of Delhi Belly fame), playing best friends, on the lines of Bluffmaster.

Says a source close to the project: "Rohan can't dream of directing without Abhishek. He wrote his new film with Abhishek in mind as one of the leads. He wanted to revive the Bluffmaster duo of Abhishek and Riteish Deshmukh. But after Dum Maro Dum, Abhishek has done some serious re-thinking. He is not in the next films of his childhood friends Rohan Sippy and Goldie Behl."

Kunal Roy KapoorConfirming the casting, Kunal Roy Kapoor said, "It's a rom-com. I can't say much more. I am really looking forward to working with Rohan and Ayushmann."

Kunal had directed the political satire Shall We Tell The President for producer Rohan Sippy five years ago.

Let's see what Sippy has in store for Ayushmann and Kunal in his new film.
