Aishwarya and Abhishek Bachchan who have worked with director Mani Ratnam share more than a professional relationship with him. Aish had debuted in Ratnam's Tamil film Iruvar and Abhishek first worked with him in Yuva. However, their bond strengthened on the sets of Guru.

When Mani suffered from a health crisis recently, Abhi-Aish left behind everything to attend to him and monitor his medical progress. Ratnam has already planned a third film with them after Raavana.

Commenting on the Abhi-Ash relationship with the maverick filmmaker, a source says, “Abhi and Ash are also very attached to his wife Suhasini. The day Aishwarya heard about Mani’s hospitalisation in Chennai, she immediately flew out of Hyderabad to see him and rushed back for her shoot the same evening.

Abhishek too couldn’t focus on anything else till Mani was out of hospital. Somewhere Mani has formed a deep emotional bond with Abhi and Ash. In fact Mani is so attached to the couple that he has begun to feel the presence of one or the other is lucky for his films.
