Father-son duo of Amitabh-Abhishek continue to rule bollywood along with their fans heart
Abhishek will recreate the magic Mehbooba mehbooba with Urmilla Matondkar in Ramu's Sholay

There is no stopping to this prince charming with his popularity going sky high the (sexiest Asian) Abhishek Bachchan is taking bollywood by storm. Every director in the industry is roping in Bachchan Junior to cash on his Magic.
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. Abhi 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. Bachchan junior has grown into his feet and after Right Here Right Now he's getting set to heave it like Helen. 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.

Mean while director Pradeep Sarkar of 'Parineeta' fame has signed up the trio Amitabh, Jaya and Abhishek of for his next film, to be produced by Yash Raj Films. Amitabh and Abhishek have acted in several films together. Jaya and Abhishek also have done a Bengali film together. But the three have never been seen together in movie. Amitabh Bachchan confirmed the news while talking to the newspersons in Mumbai. "My wife Jaya, Abhishek and I will act in Pradeep Sarkar's next film."

Besides Bachchans, there will be Rani Mukherji, Shabana Azmi playing important roles in the movie. As per source, the yet-to-title movie will go on floor in the next few days.

Again Big plans are afoot for a $20 million (Rs 100 crore) celluloid venture that will rake up the issue of international terrorism on the big screen. The movie is Ram Gopal Varma' s ambitious project Ek that was shelved previously. But now, the Mumbai-based Percept Picture Company has announced its plan to produce the film. Ramu will direct the movie himself. The movie will be a multi-starrer with Ramu's current favorites Amitabh and Abhishek Bachchan spearheading the cast. Manas Malhotra, the marketing manager of Percept Picture Company, confirmed this in a press conference: "Ek will happen at the end of next year and will be on global terrorism. We are looking at a budget of $20 million and I believe Amitabh and Abhishek Bachchan have already been signed for the movie."

Also the Wizcraft event Management Company has pulled off a casting coup for their next series of global stage shows in 2007. Though planning is still in the initial stages, the aim is to have the father and son together in a star-studded music and dance extravaganza. Details about the tour are hush-hush and Wizcraft is not willing to divulge much at this juncture. Though the Bachchans have performed on stage across the globe at various events, including the IIFA awards, this is the first time that the father-son duo will come together for a series of concerts and as all such extravaganzas go, the logistics are mind-boggling. For several years, Wizcraft has been organising stage shows across the world with Bollywood and international stars. So the thought of seeing the Bachchans together will surely be lapped up by star-struck NRIs the world over. Both father and son are busy at the moment with various projects on hand. The sight of Abhishek grown out, gelled back hair, which is touching his suit collar, is startling, his look for Shaad Ali's Jhoom Barabar Jhoom in which he plays Ricky Thukral while Big B has taken his fans by surprise when his new look as Gabbar was revealed. Wishing the very best to the celebrated father-son duo.

No Doubt they rule Bollywood!! Now Aishwarya in the family may make this duo into a most powerful Trio in Bollywood...

Abhishek Bachchan has come a long way in his career...so good for him..he deserves every bit of success....Now the biggest directors/producers want Abhishek in their movie....He has totally earned his fame...Go Abby!!!
