Abhishek Bachchan is currently shooting for Anurag Kashyap’s ‘Manmarziyaan’ but this is not the only one to mark his entry back in the game. Junior Bachchan will now be seen more on the silver screen as he will also be seen in Priyadarshan’s next ‘Rang Birangi’. The actor was reportedly starring in the director’s ‘Bachchan Singh’ but the filmmaker himself took a hiatus from Bollywood. The two are now reportedly back together for the film which will be a masala flick with the actor playing a corrupt cop who later turns into a savior of sorts. According to reports, Abhishek was the first choice for the film for his superb comic timing. The actor, who was last seen in the 2016 film ‘Housefull 3’, had taken time off to focus on his sports ventures.
Abhishek Bachchan is all set to play a gangster in his next film. After working with wife, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Sanjay Gupta seems all set to work with Abhishek Bachcchan. The gangster drama is apparently based on S Hussain Zaidi’s bestseller, Byculla To Bangkok. Set in the era when gangsters ruled supreme, the film will explore the nexus between the police, underworld, politicians and mill owners. According to a report on Desimartini.com, Abhishek’s character is based on the life of Chota Rajan, who was recently arrested in Bali.
