Abhishek not doing 'Aankhen 2', says father

Actor Abhishek Bachchan is not part of Anees Bazmee's sequel to "Aankhen", says his father Amitabh Bachchan, who is on the project.

"Abhishek is not in 'Aankhen 2'. The film will start shooting by the end of March," Amitabh said here.

The 73-year-old, who's awaiting the release of "Wazir", says his work kitty is full of projects as of now.

"Between January and March, I'll be working on Shoojit Sircar's film in Delhi. Currently, I am shooting for 'Te3n'. Once I finish shooting 'Te3n', will start work for Shoojit and then 'Aankhen 2'. I have one more project that I can't talk about right now.

"By the end of December, I will be working again in Shoojit's directorial too. Perhaps, I will be working in television too."

"Aankhen" was directed by Vipul Shah, but the sequel will be directed by Bazmee. The sequel will mostly have new actors.

The 2002 released "Aankhen" starred Akshay Kumar, Sushmita Sen, Arjun Rampal and Paresh Rawal apart from Big B.
