John Abraham and Nagesh Kukoonoor are coming together in Percept Picture Company’s ‘Aashayein’ (Co-Production with Nagesh’s SIC Productions) which is all set to kick-start in March 2007. Now, that’s an unusual combination and one that is going to be watched with close scrutiny. Apparently Nagesh is impressed with Abraham’s body of work including ‘Water’ and ‘Kabul Express’.

‘Aashayein’ is the story of a man who wins a huge sum of money and discovers he has ninety days to live. John is playing a gambler in the film who finds out new meanings of fortune and life through certain events in life. With an unconventional storytelling style of Nagesh, I am sure it must be one hell of a film. As of now, he awaits the release of his next film ‘Dor’ starring Ayesha Takia, Gul Panag and Shreyas Talpade.
