She added, "We had agreed on the idea then. However, it was around the same time that AB decided to take time- out. After the hiatus, he returned with Manmarziyan, which coincidentally is directed by Anurag Kashyap. That’s when the chatter around Gulab Jamun began again, and we finally came on board. It is a beautiful script, and we fit the narrative perfectly".

Aish also said that they both were aware if they want to come together in a film, it has to be something which is exciting. She said, "The script has to be interesting if a real- life couple is coming together. We have got many scripts, and at times, we got tempted too. But then, we discuss it out loud. We take stock and say, ‘Does it excite us?’ Why should marriage define our choices? Shouldn’t we be actually approaching the story as individual actors?"

Well, this was definitely the pairing that was waiting to be relaunched for so long. Abhi and Aish were last seen together in Mani Ratnam's Raavan in 2010.
