Big B, Abhishek and Aishwarya were last seen together in Ram Gopal Varma’s ‘Sarkar’ which released in 2008.  A report in a leading daily said that the ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ host was the latest addition to the much-awaited film. ‘Gulab Jamun’ will be a slice-of-life film which tells the story of a three-generation family, the report added. Interestingly, Senior Bachchan will represent the first generation in the film. "After initiating talks with Abhishek and Ash, the makers had given a narration to Big B last year, following which he had suggested a few tweaks to the script,’’ a source told mid-day. ‘’It was after the wrap-up of Manmarziyan last month that conversation around this film started again. Anurag reached out to Big B with the reworked script. If all goes as planned, he will be on board soon. It is yet unknown whether he will be playing a father to Abhishek or Aishwarya," the source further told the daily.
