Abhishek Bachchan to Play Gangster in Sanjay Gupta's Next
Sanjay Gupta's Jazbaa released less than a month ago with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan as the comeback queen, but the filmmaker has already moved on to work with another Bachchan in his next venture.
An article in Mumbaimirroro.com reported that Gupta's next is titled Ek Tha Gangster and features Abhishek Bachchan in a lead role. The racy thriller is based on S. Hussain Zaidi's 2014 bestseller,Byculla to Bangkok, a sequel to his 2012 novel, Dongri to Dubai.
Abhishek Bahchan who has not been see doing too many roles of late, will be seen in a gritty role in this film. His last film All is Well didn't exactly rock the box office; and his earlier film Happy New Year features him as a character actor.
Gupta says that Ek Tha Gangster has no resemblance to his earlier film. "This film will be a lot more filmy, featuring A-listers, with massy dialogue," the source said.
"Sanjay's screenplay is riveting. He is the best mafia moviemaker in the industry. There are some sensational, high-voltage scenes I am looking forward to viewing on the big screen, in particular, the first interaction between a don and an encounter specialist. That should keep viewers glued to their seats," said Zaidi who penned the original novel.
