Now, Junior B to play a superhero

Filmmaker Goldie Behl’s next venture will have Abhishek Bachchan in a very unusual role. Almost four years after the debacle of his movie Bas Itna Sa Khwab Hai, Behl returns to direction with a film titled Drona.

The film will have Behl’s close buddy Abhishek playing the lead role. Reports have it that Abhi plays a meek, submissive, bespectacled nerd who undergoes radical transformation after some supernatural experiences. The film will be shot in California. Drona will have lots of special effects and stunts with the use of state-of-the-art technology. The film will also have a decent budget.

It is learnt that Priyanka Chopra has been approached to play Abhi’s ladylove in the film. Priyanka was also paired with Hrithik Roshan in Krrish, which is being touted as India’s first superhero film.

Abhishek and Priyanka have worked together in Bluffmaster.
