ABHISHEK getting ready for his BUTT get KICKED:
A villain called Abhishek
Vickey Lalwani | June 06, 2003
Mani Ratnam offered Abhishek Bachchan a role in his yet-untitled film -- only, the character was negative.
Abhishek was thrilled at being offered a role by Mani, but none too happy with the negative slant. Apprehensive about a change of image when he was still struggling to succeed as an actor, he almost decided to wave Mani a polite good-bye.
But, after prolonged thought (and much persuasion from his family members and the director), Abhishek has now agreed to do the role. He begins shooting for the film in July.
Abhishek's father, Amitabh, made a strong impact with negative roles in films like Parwana (Navin Nischol, Yogita Bali) and Gehri Chaal (Jeetendra, Hema Malini) in the early part of his career. More recently, Amitabh was again seen playing a cold-blooded villain in Aankhen (Akshay Kumar, Sushmita Sen, Arjun Rampal, Paresh Rawal).
Mani Ratnam's film also includes Ajay Devgan, Vivek Oberoi, Kareena Kapoor and Rani Mukherji.
