Directed by Sanjay Gupta (Shootout at Wadala), this is an action thriller with Aish as the main character, rumored (dunno if it's true) to be similar to the Angelina Jolie film Salt. John Abraham has a smallish role-if this is in fact based on Salt I would guess it to be either the Liev Schreiber role or a beefed-up (hah) version of the husband role.
My main gripe with Salt was the amateur-hour direction, editing and dialogue that took all the suspense out of a complicated and potentially interesting story. The only film I've seen of Sanjay Gupta's was Wadala, and on the basis of that, I would say he's a step up in the directing and editing dep't, but a step down in the fight choreography dep't. Wadala also suffered from a couple of very heavy-handed and overly long and detailed rape scenes, which left me with less than warm and fuzzy feelings towards this director.
I don't have any concerns about Aish's ability to handle this-she looks to be in great shape in her recent appearances and has some action experience (not a ton, but some) courtesy of Jodhaa-Akbar and The Last Legion, not to mention her famously calm, remote demeanor would probably work well for a stoic secret agent type. Fingers crossed that this comeback will be worthy of her.

Gangsters bow out, Ash steps in
Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan will be back on the sets of her comeback film, Sanjay Gupta's Jazba, in the first week of December, 40 days ahead of schedule. This is because Gupta's Mumbai Saga has been delayed as Anil Kapoor and John Abraham, who are playing the gangsters in the flick, don't have dates to spare.
Mirror has learnt that the actors informed the filmmaker that they have to wrap up and promote Anees Bazmee's Welcome Back first. The film which is eyeing a Christmas release, is running late. Anil will be in Dubai for the sequel in October, and John will follow in November.
Says a source close to the development, "The film's producer, Firoz Nadiadwala is a good friend of Sanjay. He had a long chat with him. Sanjay understood that Firoz's film, which is already on floors, needs to be completed first. He immediately sent an SOS to Aishwarya whose dates he had from January, asking if she could start the film earlier. She responded positively."
When contacted, Gupta confirmed the news, saying, "Yes, I'll start Jazba with Aishwarya and Irrfan (Khan) in December before Mumbai Saga, which will roll later."
Meanwhile, Anil and John's co-stars, Vivek Oberoi and Huma Qureshi have been informed about the change in schedule."Both are disappointed that the dates they had allotted for Mumbai Saga will now go waste," added the source.

Shabana Azmi to fight Irrfan and Aishwarya for justice in Sanjay Gupta’s JazbaaPriya Gupta,TNN | Oct 29, 2014 We were the first to tell you that Sanjay Gupta has cast Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Irrfan in his action suspense thriller Jazbaa. We have now learnt that he has found his third key character, who is a college professor, played by the powerhouse performer Shabana Azmi. The story is about a lawyer (played by Aishwarya) who will race against time to achieve the impossible, of a suspended cop (played by Irrfan) who will go beyond the call of duty and it has a mother (played by Shabana Azmi) who will fight both of them for her own justice. The film will be shot entirely in Mumbai and shooting starts early December. And it's not just the actors who are racing against time in this thriller; even Sanjay will do everything he can to ensure that he finishes the film in time for the Cannes Film Festival in 2015, having Aishwarya and Irrfan, two of India's most popular stars there. timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/Shabana-Azmi-to-fight-Irrfan-and-Aishwarya-for-justice-in-Sanjay-Guptas-Jazbaa/articleshow/44957794.cms

Variety - Hollywood
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan to Make Comeback With ‘Jazbaa’December 18, 2014 Naman Ramachandran BANGALORE — Former Miss World and popular Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will make her comeback with “Jazbaa.” Rai Bachchan’s last release was 2010’s “Guzaarish,” after which she took time out to have a child. “Jazbaa” is a contemporary thriller set in modern-day Mumbai. Its main three protagonists are a lawyer, a suspended cop and a schoolteacher to be played by Rai Bachchan, Irrfan Khan (“Jurassic World”) and Shabana Azmi (“The Black Prince”), respectively.Sanjay Gupta (“Shootout at Wadala”) will direct and co-produce. “I chose Aishwarya because India is a completely male-driven society and so is its cinema. The lead protagonist in my film is a woman, and therefore it was imperative that I cast someone with the right histrionic capabilities as well as strong shoulders to carry the film. The fact that this will be the first film in nearly five years with which she returns to the cinema screens is an added bonus,” Gupta told Variety.
The film begins shooting in mid-January, and a first look will be revealed at Cannes, where Rai Bachchan is a regular on the red carpet as the face of global brands. She also served on the Cannes jury in 2003. A worldwide release is planned for August or September. “Jazbaa” is the first in a multifilm deal to produce mainstream commercial Hindi-language titles between Gupta’s White Feather Films and India’s Essel Vision Productions, the studio wing of Zee Entertainment Enterprises, a behemoth television conglomerate that also has a strong presence in the Marathi- and Bengali-language film industries. variety.com/2014/film/news/aishwarya-rai-bachchan-to-make-comeback-with-jazbaa-1201382962/
