Abhishek Bachchan, Katrina Kaif and Neil Nitin Mukesh for 'The Italian Job'

So, finally, director duo Abbas – Mustan’s remake of the cult heist film ‘The Italian Job’ is taking some shape. Abhishek Bachchan, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Katrina Kaif have been signed on for the lead roles in this film, titled ‘Players’, which is to be produced by Studio 18.

Earlier there was a lot of confusion with regard to the female lead as none of the top Bollywood actresses were willing to step into the film as the heroine has hardly anything substantial to do in the male centric film. But now we hear Katrina has given her nod. The rest of the cast is yet to be finalised. It is being said that the budget of the film is around Rs 40 crore, excluding prints and advertising. Meantime, the directors are also working on the sequel to ‘Race’ which is expected to release next year.
