Aishwarya Rajinikanth's upcoming directorial Texla is already generating buzz with its interesting premise and stellar casting — and now, speculation is mounting that Bollywood actor and producer Abhishek Bachchan may be joining the film in a cameo role. A confirmation from the makers is however awaited.

If the rumours hold true, Texla will mark Abhishek Bachchan's first direct Tamil-language acting appearance. While he has been associated with Tamil cinema through dubbed versions of his Hindi films — most notably Mani Ratnam's Raavanan (2010) and Guru (2007) — he is yet to act in a Tamil film proper.

Headlined by Jai and Suraj Venjaramoodu, Texla is set against a rural backdrop from decades ago and is expected to revolve around the world of children. Yuvan Shankar Raja composes the music — marking his second collaboration with Aishwarya after Vai Raja Vai . Kannan Ravi of KRG Group produces the film, in their first association with the director.

Further details on the plot and extended cast are yet to be announced.
