Abhishek, Pratik in Rohan Sippy’s next

  • 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, “Rohan and Abhishek wanted a young fresh face and found Pratik to fit the bill perfectly.”

The director said that the movie will be “a gritty and witty thriller”.

Pratik garnered attention with his performance in ‘Jaane 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. “He 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 ‘Dhobi Ghat’ along with Aamir, right?

Interestingly, Abhishek’s father Amitabh and Pratik’s mother Smita Patil had shared screen in ‘Shakti’, which was directed by Rohan’s father Ramesh Sippy.
