Producer-director Rohan Sippy’s gritty, hard-hitting film on the drug racket in Goa, inspired by Hollywood’s Traffic , has finally found a second hero. The role, which was initially offered to Farhan Akhtar and Emraan Hashmi, has now gone to Rana Daggubati, the Telugu star-on-the-rise, based in Hyderabad. Abhishek Bachchan is playing the lead role in the film.

Abhishek Bachchan will play the lead role, Surjya Sen, in Ashutosh Gowarikar's period film, Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey.

The film, a screen adaption of journalist Manini Chatterjee's book Do and Die, focuses on the Chittagong uprising.

Ashutosh Gowariker’s love affair with period films continues. Evidently, he has not had his fill of making larger-than-life films even after making films like Lagaan and Jodhaa Akbar.

The Delhi Metro is fast emerging as a favourite among filmmakers and Sunday it was the turn of superstar Amitabh Bachchan and his son Abhishek who spend over four hours shooting a sequence of the film Paa along with actor Vidya Balan.

In what may be a role reversal in reel life, Abhishek Bachchan is all set to play Amitabh Bachchan’s father in R Balki’s upcoming film ‘Pa’, Femalefirst reported.

Step aside, everyone. The buzz is that debutante director Zoya Akhtar is making a dhamal entry into Bollywood today with Luck By Chance — the film that’s been produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani and whose story and script has been penned by Zoya herself.

Happily, Bollywood’s the backdrop of this film and Zoya’s got film stars, filmmakers, fashion and costume designers shining in each frame, making it the first production of its kind.

Post marriage, Abhishek and Aishwarya Bachchan can't get enough of working together.

After Mani Ratnam's Raavan, the Bachchans have now signed another film together Ritesh Sidhwani's next, directed by Abhinay Deo, who is also directing Aamir Khan Productions' Delhi Belly.
