- IndiaGlitz, [Monday,November 30 2009]
Producer Rohan Sippy is coming up with an untitled project. The movie is said to feature Abhishek Bachchan and Pratik Babbar.
According to sources, the movie is about drug-trafficking in Goa and Abhishek here plays a tough cop on a drug-bust mission. The actors have been asked to study narcotic neurosis and criminal's quirks to understand their roles well, revealed the insiders. Talking about Pratik, sources said, ÂRohan and Abhishek wanted a young fresh face and found Pratik to fit the bill perfectly.Â
The director said that the movie will be Âa gritty and witty thrillerÂ.
Pratik garnered attention with his performance in ÂJaane Tu Ya Jaane Na and since then he is said to have attracted movie offers as well. Although he is just a film old in the industry, sources say that Pratik is going places. ÂHe recently signed Sanjay Leela Bhansali's My Friend Pinto, and Saif Ali Khan's home production, and now has a two-film deal with Rohan Sippy, sources said. Well, Pratik even has ÂDhobi Ghat along with Aamir, right?
Interestingly, AbhishekÂs father Amitabh and PratikÂs mother Smita Patil had shared screen in ÂShaktiÂ, which was directed by RohanÂs father Ramesh Sippy.
