Actor Abhishek Bachchan confirmed that the shooting of Dostana 2 has been postponed to April, next year. He says, "Tarun Mansukhani, (the director of the film) was not too happy with the script and some changes are being made to the script. The shooting of the film was supposed to begin in October but will now begin in April.”
It is also confirmed that Anees Bazmee's Hera Pheri 4 stars Abhishek Bachchan. Abhishek says, “Yes, I am working on Hera Pheri 4 with Anees.” Though he refused to divulge any more details, it is rumoured Abhishek will be doing Akshay Kumar's role in the original film. Nana Patekar is said to be doing Paresh Rawal's role and Sanjay Dutt will take on Suniel Shetty's role.
Currently, Abhishek is busy promoting his upcoming patriotic film Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey. Abhishek recalls, “Ashutosh Gowariker (producer-director) of the film asked me a question before narrating me the script. He said, 'What did you do when you were 13?' I replied – went to school, tuition etc. And he said ‘the 58 kids who participated in the Chittagong uprising were ready to give up their lives to attain India’s freedom’. And thereafter I just had to sign the movie.” He adds, “I am ashamed that I didn’t know about the Chittagong uprising that was spearheaded by school teacher Surya Sen until Ashutosh told me about it. And now I am glad that I am a part of this film.”
Gowariker had initially thought of shooting the film in Chittagong. Abhishek says, “Chittagong has many modern buildings now and it was difficult to recreate the India of our independence time there. We then decided to shoot the film in Sawantwadi and for a period of 3 months.” He adds, “I vividly remember that when the Indian flag was hoisted on the sets for the first time, for a scene, most of us were teary eyed. I have realised that patriotism is indeed a very strong sentiment.”
Abhishek will soon get busy with his next, Abbas Mustan’s Players.
