Amitab Bachan Jr gets his mehbooba

AB Jr gets his mehbooba

He was so blown by Ganesh Hegde's 'Mehbooba' that he volunteered to step into Jalal Agha's shoes and yodel

While the casting of Ram Gopal Varma Ke Sholay continues to generate curiosity and interest, the latest actor to have been finalised is Abhishek Bachchan. What comes as a surprise is the choice of role Abhishek has been zeroed down for. Bachchan Junior will recreate the magic once created by Jalal Agha in 'Mehbooba mehbooba.'

With this dance Abhishek will shake a leg for the first time with actress Urmilla Matondkar for the first time. He will share screen space for a popular number for the third consecutive time with his father Amitabh Bachchan, the others being 'Kajra re' in Bunty Aur Babli and 'Rock and roll soniye' for Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna.

When contacted Ram Gopal Verma confirmed the news. "It is true that Abhishek will be doing the song and will feature along with Amitji and Urmilla. The other details are yet to be finalised. We yet have to think about his look in the film," he said.

Abhishek volunteered to the song after he heard the number by Ganesh Hedge. "I never offered him the song. He loved it as soon as he heard it. He was excited to be a part of the song and offered to be part of the song."

So what makes this song any different from the other numbers he has performed with his father? "The primary difference between the other Amitabh and Abhishek songs and 'Mehbooba' is that in the former they have been highly interactive. In this song they might not even look at each other."

Allegedly, the hunt for an apt location is on with Ganesh and Ramu having already rejected Dubai and Australia. The buzz doing the rounds is that they probably might shoot in Morocco. Considering that the song will be shot at Gabbar's den, minute details are being worked on.

After Himesh opted out of the song due to date problems, Ramu had roped in Hegde who will compose, choreograph and direct the song, which has been rendered by Sunidhi Chauhan and Sukhvinder Singh.
