The hottest gupshup in the town with no doubt will be of ‘Paa’. First-of-its-kind in cinema and introduction of a new disorder; ‘Paa’ truly is a composition of authenticity and wonderment.

‘Paa’ for the first time presents the reversal of roles of real persons’ relationship. And since its first promos, people who were amused by them couldn’t stop talking about the movie’s reel and real characters. Amitabh Bachchan a son while his son Abhishek a father. One can imagine how it would have been for the actors who are playing the roles. Recalling the day when the director Balki approached him, Big B said, “I was apprehensive initially. No one’s done something like this before. But full marks to Balki for convincing me. We sat down, worked on the script and I knew instantly that this was a challenge that I needed to take.”

He was further surprised when he heard that Abhishek was going to play his father. However the senior Bachchan felt that Abhishek was the right choice for the role. Later, he was even happy to be Abhishek’s son in the movie. “He was a very considerate father. He didn’t beat me up or scold me. In fact, he did take me around a lot,” said the legendary actor on a lighter note.

The father is also impressed with Abhishek’s role as a producer. Said Bachchan, “I think Abhishek has done a great job as a producer. He has managed to complete the film in Rs 15 crore.”

Amitabh Bachchan is now waiting for the D-day, to receive the audience’s reaction of their roles in ‘Paa’. The movie is slated to release on 4th December and for its Premiere Big B is said to have personally invited Shah Rukh and Aamir Khan.
