It is known that Puri is planning to do a bi-lingual film with Abhishek and Mahesh Babu and titled the film as 'The Businessman'. It is known that Abhishek is impressed with 'The Businessman' script and even ready to produce this film in his home production AB corp. However, the film will be made in Telugu first with superstar Mahesh Babu before it moves on floors with Abhishek Bachchan in Hindi.
In fact one reason why the Hindi version of Businessman has been delayed is to let Abhiskek Bachchan build a physique comparable with that of the Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu who plays the title role in the Telugu version of Businessman. When approached director Puri Jagannadh says, "We're starting the Telegu version of Businessman in September. It will be shot entirely in Mumbai. The Hindi version of the film starts next year. Beyond that I wouldn't want to reveal the plans we have for Abhishek."
