Rajiv Menon back in film circuit with Ash

Director Rajiv Menon has taken a long sabbatical but is now back into action, sources say. He directed Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in Kandukondein Kandukondein in the year 2000, which is said have inspired from the Jane Austen’s novel Sense and Sensibility. After nine long years, the director has once again plans to sign up Aishwarya Rai along with her hubby Abhishek Bachchan.

Sources close to the director say that Rajiv this time is inspired by the Bollywood smash hit flick Abhiman, which had Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan in the lead. The director, however, claims that it will not be a remake but he would merely draw some inspiration from it.
