Bhansali chooses Bachchan Jr this time

Finally, Abhishek Bachchan and Sanjay Leela Bhansali will team up for an intense contemporary drama

After dad Amitabh Bachchan in Black and wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in Hum…Dil De Chuke Sanam, Devdas and Guzaarish it is Abhishek Bachchan's turn now to work with Sanjay Leela Bhansali for what is being termed as "an intense human drama taking the protagonist into an area he has never been into before."

Bhansali has been in search of a story idea that would do justice to Abhishek's presence. The filmmaker, who recently worked wonders with Hrithik Roshan in Guzaarish, has finally cracked an idea that will accommodate Abhishek's talent.

Abhishek Bachchan

Sanjay Leela Bhansali


Confirming these developments Bhansali said, "I've always felt Abhishek has immense untapped potential. He is an actor capable of surrendering to the camera wholeheartedly. I feel his potential is simmering under the surface. I am going to try to harness it."

The film is not a historical or a period film. The director revealed, "It is today's subject about contemporary situations and the dilemma that a young individual faces in trying to jump across the hurdles that are placed in his life by the wheels of the government."

Abhi+bhansali = either disaster (if he makes the mvoie is black or blue) or Greatest (if he tell story in colorful manner)
But I am happy that he is trying to capture Abhi's intensity. I have always maitained that Abhi si not Big B but he is more of Sanjeev Kumar in his acting...
I am surely going to watch this movie...

I have to say that Mani Ratnam and SLB have hearts of Steel, these people are the most dabanng and fearless people in the industry, even after the debacles of Raavan, Guzaarish they are working with the bachchans...😆 Film flop ho, disaster ho koi farak hi nahi padta?? Sometimes i feel that the way things work in bollywood are like anyone can get directors a producer or a financer can be the leading hero of the movie. Otherwise what explains abhi getting work even after countless duds, who in their right mind would invest in him, unless they are getting money to make movies with him. The odds in favour of getting a hit with abhi are even lower than the odds in favour of winning in a lotto 649.

I am so happy for him. I am so over the box office results. The movies I don't like end up doing well and films that I like don't. So as long as they make meaningful cinema it's all good. I hope Sanjay casts Rani opposite him:)

Give the man a chance. Just because other films flopped doesn't necessarily mean that this movie will have the same fate.

But yes I do hope SLB casts Rani in this movie! 😳

Abhishek may not have any hits but to tell you the truth most actors don't have a guaranteed position at the box office besides the KHANS. Even Hrithik didn't have any hits this year. Atleast Abhishek tries to do different kind of films. Everyone in the forum is saying how bad of an actor he is. I totally disagree yeah he has his flaws which he can improve upon but I would watch him any day over Salman and Akshay.
