MUMBAI: The Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan starrer Ladies and Gentlemen, which will be directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, is all set to go on floors in the first week of July.

The film is a romantic comedy and stars the real life couple in the lead roles. There were rumors doing the rounds that Salman Khan and Deepika Padukone had been cast in the film. However, it has been confirmed that the Bachchan duo will be starring in the movie.

Additionally, Santoshi will also be producing the film himself under his new banner. Speaking exclusively to Businessofcinema.com, Santoshi said, "I will be starting shoot on Ladies and Gentlemen by the first week of July. The film will star Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in the lead. I will be producing the film myself under my new banner."

The film will be shot in Mumbai, Rome, New York and Malaysia. Santoshi, whose multi starrer Power, is also under production, will be shooting both the films simultaneously.

He informs, "We have shot about eight days for Power and now we are working out the dates of our actors. Since it’s a huge film with multiple stars, it takes time to adjust everyone's dates. Hopefully the dates will be re-worked and we should start the second schedule of the film soon."
