Mumbai, June 28: The Baap of Bollywood Amitabh Bachchan will finally shave off his beard for director R Balkrishnan’s ‘Pa’. Balkrishnan (Balki) of ‘Cheeni Kum’ fame has asked Big B to do away with his stylish beard and go for a softer look instead.

According to reports, ‘Pa’, which is Balki’s second flick will see Big B in one of his most startling makeover in recent times that changes his entire look. While, Abhishek will also be given a ‘more intrinsic’ personality change

After extracting marvellous performances out of Tabu and the Big B in the extraordinary 'Cheeni Kum', it seems that Balki is going to come up with another out of the box, in your face kind of a movie.

Bachchan Sr and Abhishek will be seen playing father and son in the movie in question. According to Balki, “Pa would be a far more emotional story than Cheeni Kum. Big B plays a character he has never played before. It's a very emotional father-son story. But the emotions won't be melodramatic."

While Vidya Balan will play Abhishek's love interest, Amitabh will be seen going solo here sans a heroine as apparently his world revolves around his son in the movie.

Balki starts shooting for ‘Pa’ at the end of January. Reliance and AB Corp Ltd would be jointly producing the film.
