Priyanka is a wonderful kid: Abhishek
By Subhash K Jha
First things first, is that your voice in the 'Sabse badaa rupaiya' track?
No. I've sung another track in Bluff Master. That's Mehmood Bhaijaan's voice in the 'Sabse badaa rupaiya' track. But that's an old track and the music was drowning the voice. So we asked someone else to dub over the original voice. Bluff Master looks different… Different has become something of a clich now. I'd like to think it's not so different. It's a reflection of the way Rohan Sippy thinks. I love the fact that the entire film is shot on location in Mumbai. Rohan took me to places in Mumbai which I didn't know existed. I enjoyed the film's subtlety and naturalness. It's very hard to classify a film like this. It's very …cool! There's nothing in-your-face in it. It's a very easygoing sort of film. When I watched it I came out with a smile on my face. It doesn't dictate feelings to the audience. I think Bluff Master is more Rohan than his first film Kuch Na Kaho. On some level in Kuch Na Kaho we did bow down to what we thought to be the market and what would work. Kuch Na Kaho was a film we thought audiences would want to see. Bluff Master is a film we wanted to make. You've had an unbroken string of successes this year.
Well there's always the law of averages (laughs). I want Bluff Master to work. But I can't take anything for granted. Audiences want to see work that's different from the norm. While Bunty Babli and Sarkar had your dad to shoulder responsibility this one is pretty much yours. Not true. There's a senior and popular artiste like Nana Patekar, Boman Irani , Riteish…. I've never worked with Nana and Boman. Such wonderful actors. Nana virtually fathers the whole unit. He was feeding us all the time. He's very warm and hospitable. He took on the mantle of the head of the unit.

Unfortunately we didn't have too many scenes together….Priyanka is also a first -timer for me. For once I worked with a heroine who likes the same kind of music as me. When I asked her she didn't have the same standard response, 'I like old Hindi songs'. She likes hip-hop, r & b and rap, just like me. She's a full rapper at heart. She's our music guru, gives me and Riteish and Rohan all the music we like. She gave her all to the project too. When your leading lady is so spirited and focused, everyone is energized on the sets. She's a wonderful kid.

Bluff Master back at work


With 'Pa' resting at home, Bachchan Jr finally resumes shoot after 3-week break


Subhash K Jha


The three-week ordeal at the Bachchans' looks like it's about to settle. On Monday morning the recovering man of the house was seen strolling on the lawns of Prateeksha and waving to the swelling crowds outside. He has resumed his everyday activities, except, of course, his gruelling work routine. He meets visitors and spends a reasonable amount of time talking to them.

And although A B Sr will take a while to get back into the studios, it's time for the devoted son to do so. Abhishek has reluctantly resumed shooting. Though he would have liked to be with his dad longer, he left on Monday afternoon for Jaipur to join the waiting unit of JP Dutta's costume drama Umrao Jaan.

Even though the cast and crew initially tried to make do without their leading actor, his prolonged absence had them nervous. Throughout Amitabh's illness JP Dutta empathised with Abhishek's anxiety.

"It couldn't be helped. Being by the side of his ailing father was something any son would want to do. Now that he's joining us we'll try our best to make up for lost time," said JP, as he waited for Abhishek to arrive in Jaipur.

Rushing through the countless chores, in and out of the AB Corp office, Abhishek managed to make it to the airport.

"I'm at JP saab's disposal now. He's welcome to use my services as he likes," said Abhishek before leaving Mumbai for Jaipur to shoot with Aishwarya Rai and the rest of the cast. He's expected to be with the unit for the next fortnight at least.
