It was the 20th anniversary of the iconic movie, Border where it was announced that JP Dutta was going to collaborate yet again with Abhishek Bachchan in the war movie, Paltan, Abhishek and Duttahave worked in films like Refugee (his debut movie), LOC Kargil and Umrao Jaan.
Abhishek, who has been away from the silver screen since Housefull 3 (2016) took to Twitter to introduce Paltan. He tweeted, "Brother to my left, brother to my right. Together we stand. Together we fight! I'm part of the PALTAN, are you? #jpdutta #JaiHind."
"It's time to tell a new story, to tell another part of the history of our country and salute more real-life heroes! I present Paltan. A film and a subject very close to my heart and I'm extremely excited about it," JP Dutta has said in a statement.
It comes as a shock now that AB Jr. is no longer a part of Paltan as revealed by the movie's official spokesperson.
Talking about the same is Dutta's daughter Nidhi Dutta who expressed her shock over Abhishek's sudden departure from the movie. Nidhi revealed, "Abhishek Bachchan is no longer part of Paltan for personal reasons best known to him. It has come as a shock to us as this happened less than 24 hours before our unit left to shoot in Ladakh. But we also believe that; especially in the movies we make, it's the soldiers sitting up there that choose who will play them and recreate their lives on screen. Nevertheless, we wish him luck in his future endeavours. We are already in Ladakh filming with our entire cast and crew and Army personnel. We will announce the actor who is replacing Abhishek in the film soon."
This is indeed shocking! What do you think is the reason for Abhishek to back out of Paltan!? Let us know in the comments below.
Paltan stars Suniel Shetty, Arjun Rampal, Sonu Sood, Pulkit Samrat, Siddhanth Kapoor, Gurmeet Chaudhary, Jimmy Sheirgill, Jackie Shroff and Luv Sinha. Paltan is based on 1960's Indo-China war.
