Abhishek to do cameo in Aishwarya's comeback film

Sanjay Gupta's action film "Jazbaa" is special in many ways. It not only marks the comeback of actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, but also features her husband and actor Abhishek Bachchan in a special role.

The film's director took to micro-blogging site Twitter to share the news.

"Big excitement at the shoot today as Abhishek Bachchan shoots his special appearance in JAZBAA," Gupta tweeted.

The duo showed their chemistry in the film "Guru", which garnered plaudits. And in Mani Ratnam's "Raavan", which failed to sizzle at the box office.

Earlier, Gupta used the social media platform to announce the release date of the film which also stars Irrfan Khan, Shabana Azmi, Abhimanyu Singh and Atul Kulkarni. The date which has been locked for the film is October 9.
