Here's all you need to know about Abhishek Bachchan's next 'Lefty'!

In mid-January, Abhishek Bachchan will flag off his next film, Lefty, which he is co-producing with buddy Bunty Walia and will be directed by Prabhudheva, with a month-long schedule in Hyderabad.

A source revealed to a tabloid, “The film will see Abhishek play a left-handed character (considered inauspicious by some in India) who is on a mission to save his city. A regular guy in the world's eye, he has special powers that help him sense trouble. Abhishek and Prabhudheva met last week to discuss details of the shoot. The team will leave for a recce in Hyderabad where the story is set, sometime this week.“

The makers are on the lookout for a relatively fresh face to play Abhishek's love interest in the hero-centric project. Interestingly, the actor is left handed in real life too and so felt the part was tailor-made for him.

His last screen outing as a character with superpowers was in Goldie Behl's 2008 fantasy-adventure, Drona. Meanwhile, grapevine has it that AB Jr. will ring in New Year in Dubai with wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and daughter Aaradhya.
