The Bachchan trio of Amitabh-Abhishek and Aishwarya will be back after Sarkar Raj with a movie being made under their own production company; AB Corps Pvt. Ltd. The movie will go on the floors in the second half of the year. The Bachchans who pride on brandishing the Bachchan brand were initially set on a script that would have Abhi-Ash in the lead, but with Mani Ratnam’s movie taking longer than expected to complete the talk is that the Bachchans don’t want another movie with the two coming out in speedy succession. So they have no zeroed down on a movie based on the lives of two aging dons and their quest for survival against the new class of mafia.
The film is set in Mumbai and obviously Big B will be playing one of the leads. And they are very keen on roping in Dharmendra who has made a comeback to mainstream Bollywood to play his partner-in-crime. Amitabh personally called Dharmendra and sounded off the venture to him and the script has been sent over to the Deol house. Fault-finding son Sunny is still doing his analysis of the script before he lets his Papa say a yes, but we will be only happy to see Jai-Veeru work their magic again.
