Abhishek Bachchan has stepped into the role of Saswata Chatterjee from 'Kahaani', for 'Bob Biswas'
Abhishek Bachchan is ecstatic with the way his fans and netizens have responded to his upcoming movie 'Bob Biswas' look. The actor thanked everyone who showered love on the look. He said that is proof that the filmmakers are doing something right.
Abhishek also said that if his look is correct, then half the job is done. He spoke to Mid-Day about working on the project, replacing the image created by Saswata Chatterjee and staying 'Bob Biswas through the lockdown.
"The [netizens'] reaction was an endorsement that we are doing something right. I believe that if you look the character, half your job is done. In Kahaani, Bob Biswas [portrayed by Saswata Chatterjee] is portly, so I had to pile on the kilos. Maintaining the frame during the lockdown was difficult," the actor shared.
Abhishek shared that the photographers in Kolkata dropped in on the sets one day and clicked him. The actor shared that even though he wanted his director Annapurna Ghosh to take a call to release the look during the marketing, he is pleased with how fans have reacted to his look.
"This city has showered my family and me with love and respect. My father is called 'jamai babu' [son-in-law] here, and I am referred to as 'aamar naati' [our grandson]. It has been a lucky city for me. Every time I have shot here, the film has gone on to fare well - be it Yuva or the recent Ludo," he said.
The film and Abhishek Bachchan's character are a spin-off of Bob Biswas character essayed by Saswata Chatterjee in superhit film Kahaani starring Vidya Balan. It also stars Chitrangda Singh in a pivotal role.
Bankrolled by Gauri Khan, Sujoy Ghosh and Gaurav Verma, Bob Biswas is a directorial debut for Diya (Annapurna) Ghosh and written by Sujoy Ghosh. The movie went on floors again after nine months of it coming to a halt.
