Abhishek Bachchan and Vidya Balan will be paired up for ‘Johnny Walker' The film is a joint venture between Amitabh Bachchan's ABCL and Percept Picture Company and rumour has it that the Big B himself is involved in writing the script for this baby.
Shoojit Sircar will direct it. As per latest, Amitabh Bachchan will play an important role in the film. The director is looking for an actress of great stature to play opposite Amitabh Bachchan.
In a recent interview, director Sircar revealed, “The film is about an old couple that embarks on the journey of self-discovery.”
When asked, whether Amitabh Bachchan is writing the script of this film, Shoojit Sircar said, “I don't know. Bachchan is writing the script, its news to me.”
Bachchans' home production, but instead of would-be daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai, Vidya Balan signed up for playing lead opposite Abhishek, does it mean after marriage Aishwarya Rai wouldn't be allowed to continue working in films? Sure it's a million-dollar-question, but when asked, director Shoojit Sircar refused to comment.
Sircar, who is negotiating with Abhishek Bachchan and Vidya Balan hopes that his film will make people of all ages introspect and think about their lives.
Sircar prefers to stay tight lipped about the leading lady, only saying that she is an actress of great stature.
