2017 wasn't exactly a great year for Amitabh Bachchan or Kangana Ranaut in terms of giving box office hits. However, that hasn't affected their popularity or the love that they have received from their fans in any way. 

While Kangana found herself amidst controversies owing to her scandalous interviews over her alleged affair with Hrithik Roshan, Amitabh was busy working on his future projects. But 2018 seems to have started with a bang for both of them.

According to a Mid-Day report, the duo is set to share screen space in R Balki's next film. FYI, R Balki is the man behind films like 'Paa', 'English Vinglish' and is all set with the soon to release 'PadMan'. So you can expect one hell of a film.

Apparently, the film will revolve around a woman (which will be played by Kangana) who is left handicapped after an accident, and eventually reclaims her life. Bachchan will be seen as her mentor who'll help her to beat the odds. 

With both the actors being National Award recipients, there is no doubt about the fact that this is a major casting coup.

Maybe we are getting ahead of ourselves, but bringing together powerhouse performers like them with a visionary like Balki can only lead to success.

In the past, the actors shot an advertisement together which was loved by people across the country. In fact, some even wanted this unusual pairing to come together for a movie.

While we are still waiting for a confirmation which would probably come by the end of this month (as per Mid-Day), we are way too excited already despite knowing that we won't to get to see the movie any time soon. 

Kangana and Amitabh will reportedly begin this film after they wrap up their previous commitments. Amitabh Bachchan has 'Thugs of Hindostan' and '102 Not Out' whereas Kangana is slated to begin work on a thriller after 'Manikarnika'.
