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.

Fox Star Studios and Ramesh Sippy have announced that DUM MAARO DUM will release on February 4, 2011. This film marks the coming together of Abhishek Bachchan and director Rohan Sippy after their successful collaboration on BLUFFMASTER.

After Shah Rukh Khan in My Name Is Khan, it is Abhishek Bachchan's turn to be marketed on a global platform by Fox Star.

The company plans to unleash the Abhishek starrer Dum Maro Dum on the same level globally as Khan. Goa, Bachchan and Bipasha Basu are the heady mix that Fox are counting on to entice an international audience.

Abhishek Bachchan may have been seen carrying his father Amitabh Bachchan piggyback in their home production Paa, but in real life, it is Abhishek who loves to be carried around like that.

Fox Star Studios India announced Monday that it will co-produce helmer Rohan Sippy's "Dum Maro Dum," starring Abhishek Bachchan and Rana Daggubati, with the director's Rohan Sippy Productions shingle.

Finally, all speculation about the female lead in Rohan Sippy’s Dum Maro Dum has been put to rest. Bipasha Basu will be playing the glamorous junkie from Goa opposite Telugu star Rana Daggubati in the film. The film’s remaining star cast has been finalised earlier - Abhishek Bachchan, Pratik and Aditya Pancholi.

According to a very reliable source, Rohan Sippy’s Dum Maro Dum (revolving around the drug racket in Goa) has finally found a leading lady - Kangna Ranaut. She is set to play a Goan junkie in the film.
