Farah Khan and the entire Happy New Year team including Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Sonu Sood, Boman Irani and Vivaan Shah might be promoting their film everywhere and talking about their roles, but there's one character they are not really revealing much about. Abhishek Bachchan's plays Nandu Bheede in the film and it looks like the role is definitely going to be one to watch out for, especially since the team is deliberately being tight-lipped about it.
From what we understand, Abhishek's character is an alcohol-loving Mumbai tapori who loves speaking English, even if he doesn't quite know how to. Funny, comical and mad - that's how the character could be described, but when the team was asked about the role, each one maintained a strong silence about it. We wonder why.
Vivaan Shah called Abhishek Bachchan the 'wild card' and when we asked him to elaborate, he merely smiled and said, "You need to watch the film to know why!".
Boman Irani on the other hand, feels Abhishek's character is the best in the team of losers in the film. "If given a choice to switch roles, I would have done it with Abhishek's character. It is quite a challenging role and Abhishek is a marvelous actor. He is one of the most under rated actors we have and I hope after Happy New Year, people really take notice of how hard he has worked for the film."
Eventually, when we reached Abhishek Bachchan and asked him about the same, he shied away from the question too. "It is a secret and I can't tell you," Abhishek joked, without giving away any details about his character.
From what we hear, Abhishek's Nandu Bheede is going to play an important role in the Happy New Year heist and there have been fleeting reports about him playing a double role in the film. But the team's silence on the character is what makes us all the more curious!
Happy New Year releases on October 24.
