Abhishek Bachchan will soon be seen in Goldie Behl's Drona. The film, releasing on October 2nd, sees the actor jumping of buildings and fighting with swords. We have a chat with AB Jr. to find out what has him all excited.

Back with Goldie for Drona but it's taken a while to release…

Yes finally back with one of my closest friend. Goldie is like my brother and when he mentioned this story to me I was with him right away. It didn't matter how long it was going to take. We were going all out. Look at the scale at which we have done this. We traveled all over and it's been an absolute blast.

Jumping off from heights is fun?

(laughs) Not if you are my wife but otherwise its great fun. It's a guy thing. Driving fast cars… playing with swords. It was great fun for me. C'mon it's a guy thing! I love Star Wars… growing up I was obsessed with it and still am… and so while we can't have the original light sabers this was so much fun!

You shot in deserts in Namibia and then in rainy Czechoslovakia. Tell us about that…

I think one of the greatest joys of our kind of work comes from the locales we get to travel in. It's absolutely amazing and outstanding. And the places where we shot for Drona were just breathtaking… you know there is one particular scene in the film where we create whirlwind of sand around me… and when we were filming often there would be sand storms and that whole area would be covered in sand till as far as you could see. And then we would spend the rest of the day trying to level out stuff to ensure continuity… and that's when you realize the power of nature. In Czech it's a completely different feel… stone paved roads, old buildings… it was all old school but nice in its own way.

Your mum is a part of the film. Does that add comfort to being away from home?

Mum is a great actor and I love every role of hers. You get to learn so much from her and Pa too. They are both legends. You know it always helps to have family around especially when you are doing shoots away from home for the long schedules. But in this case I was working with a crew that is all family. Goldie is my brother… and so I think even when she wasn't around it was all good.

Drona was delayed for the longest time. Does that frustrate you as an actor when your film doesn't release?

Sure. I think that's for everyone not just me. All of us put in a lot of effort for a film to be ready. But in the case of Drona it wasn't just held up. We weren't to be 100% sure about the special effects and the over all look of the film. And that's why the delay… so I think we all knew it was for the film… and therefore it was ok.
