For the uninitiated, Batla House Encounter or
call it Operation Batla House took place on
September 19, 2008, and terrorists Atif Amin
and Mohamed Sajid were killed in an
encounter in Batla House locality in Delhi. It
happened in wake of the five serial blasts on
September 13, 2008, which shook the entire
nation and it claimed about 30 lives and
around 100 people were injured.
Earlier, there were reports that Akshay
Kumar will be in the film but he chose to
stay away as the film might involve legal
trouble. Now, according to a report in an
open magazine, Abhishek Bachchan is in
talks with Advani for finally materialising the
project which the director has been
dreaming about.
The report also talks about how Abhishek
has started utilizing his time and is focusing

rubbished the rumours of Abhishek going
