After the release of Paa, several reports talked of how fond Vidya Balan had become of Abhishek Bachchan. Vidya, who plays Amitabh Bachchan’s mother in the film, was extremely impressed by Abhishek’s caring demeanor towards his father during the shooting of the film.

So moved was the actress that she confessed her desire to have a son like Abhishek in real life. “I would prefer a son like Abhishek,” she had categorically said.

While that may or may not happen, Vidya’s chemistry with Abhishek in Paa did wonders for the audience, which wants to see them together on screen again.

The latest on that front is that Rohan Sippy’s forthcoming Dum Maro Dum, will feature the actress in a long cameo role with Abhishek Bachchan.

When asked if a special cameo role is being created for Vidya in Rohan’s film, a source from the unit says, “Created wouldn’t be the right term to use. There was a role for which Rohan was looking for an Indian face.”

Elaborating on why Vidya was chosen to play this cameo role, our source says, “Rohan has watched Paa and he quite liked the chemistry between Abhishek and Vidya. He strongly felt that the two of them looked very good together on screen.”

Apparently, Rohan approached Vidya recently, who liked the cameo role as well. She has agreed to do the film. The modalities are now being worked out. Vidya will soon join the cast of Dum Maro Dum.

Rohan and Vidya remained unavailable for comment. Abhishek, are you excited?
