Abhishek acts funny with wife Aishwarya

You could say Abhishek Bachchan is acting funny with wife Aishwarya - that's because the couple are starring in their first comedy together called "Ladies And Gentlemen".

"I was very keen to do a comedy after a spate of more serious films and also Aishwarya and I haven't done a comedy together, so I'm excited about this film," Abhishek told IANS in an e-mail interview from Murmansk, Russia.

To be produced and directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, the film is slated for a 2012 release and is set to go on the floors in the first week of July this year.
