Abhishek Bachchan will be starring in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s next film.

Confirming the news, SLB said, “I’ve always felt Abhishek has immense untapped potential. He is an actor capable of surrendering to the camera wholeheartedly. I feel his potential is simmering under the surface. I am going to try to harness it.”

“The film is not a historical or a period film. It is today’s subject about contemporary situations and the dilemma that a young individual faces in trying to jump across the hurdles that are placed in his life by the wheels of the government,” he added.

LB’s recently released ‘Guzaarish’ garnered a lot of appreciation for its lead actor Hrithik Roshan. The film starred Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in female lead role.

This is the first instance when Sanjay Leela Bhansali will be teaming up with Junior Bachchan, as he has already worked with Amitabh Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan previously.
