Abhishek to play Amitabh’s father

What we’ve heard is indeed shocking - Abhishek Bachchan is set to play Amitabh’s father in R. Balki’s forthcoming film “Pa”.

Big B’s has kept his look in the film a huge secret and from what we hear, he takes about five hours to do his make-up.

The entire project is being shot in secrecy and no one from outside the unit is allowed in. People from the set are also not permitted to speak about the film to the media.

Our sources tell us that in “Pa” Amitabh plays the alienated and slightly retarded son of Abhishek. His look has been designed by make-up men specially flown in from London.
