There were reports that Abhishek will team up with Prabhudheva for a solo hero project which will have him play a "slightly eccentric man".
When asked if he is in talks with Abhishek, the 43-year-old director told PTI, "I can't talk about that now. It will happen soon and then we will talk about it. I'll be directing it. It will be an out and out commercial film."
Abhishek, 40, was last seen in "Housefull 3", which also starred Akshay Kumar, Ritesh Deshmukh among others.
Meanwhile, the "Rowdy Rathore" helmer will next be seen in Sonu Sood's maiden production venture "Tutak Tutak Tutiya".
The horror-comedy will be released across three languages, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu on October 7.
