Abhishek
Bachchan,
who
was
last
seen
in
Anurag
Kashyap's
directorial
venture
Manmarziyaan,
has
now
started
shooting
for
his
upcoming
film
Bob
Biswas.
Last
year,
the
talented
had
no
releases
but
2020
is
going
to
a
busy
year
for
Junior
Bachchan.
Talking
about
Bob
Biswas,
the
film
is
being
helmed
by
first
time
director
Diya
Annapurna
Ghosh
and
has
been
written
by
Sujoy
Ghosh.
Apart
from
writing
the
film,
Ghosh
is
also
producing
the
movie
along
with
Shah
Rukh
Khan
and
Gauri
Khan.
Chitrangda
Singh
is
playing
the
female
lead
alongside
Abhishek.
Since
it's
the
first
time
that
these
two
have
come
together
for
a
film,
we
are
quite
excited
to
see
what's
in
store
for
us.
Anyway,
Junior
Bachchan
took
to
social
media
a
while
back
and
announced
that
the
film
has
officially
gone
on
floors.
Sharing
a
picture
from
the
sets,
he
wrote,
"Lights.
Camera
Nomoshkar!
Shoot
day
one.

Bob
Biswas
is
a
fictional
character
who
appeared
in
Sujoy
Ghosh's
hit
film
Kahaani
back
in
2012.
Saswata
Chatterjee
played
the
role
and
made
it
iconic
despite
it
being
a
cameo.
As
a
poker-faced
contract
killer,
Bob
Biswas
definitely
gave
goosebumps
to
the
viewers
and
now
we
have
got
a
whole
film
just
about
him.
Sounds
pretty
cool,
right?
Currently,
Abhishek
is
shooting
in
Kolkata
for
the
film
and
the
43-year-old
actor
has
undergone
an
extensive
physical
transformation
for
the
same.
While
the
makers
haven't
announced
the
release
date
as
yet,
Bob
Biswas
is
expected
to
hit
the
theatres
later
this
year.
Apart
from
Abhishek's
never-seen-before
avatar,
what's
interesting
is
the
fact
that
Sujoy's
daughter
Diya
is
directing
the
project.
In
2018,
her
short
film
was
selected
for
the
prestigious
Cannes
Film
Festival.
And
hence
we
are
expecting
a
lot
from
her
first
feature
film
as
well.
