Goldie signs Abhishek again
Childhood friends Goldie Behl and Abhishek Bachchan are coming together once again. And no, this time, it’s not for Drona 2, like they had announced even before the film had released. Jr Bachchan had played a superhero in the film, a character both the friends said was a fantasy from their childhood.
“No more fantasy films for me, at least not for now,” smiled Goldie. “I’m producing a film with Abhishek in the lead and it will be directed by Anurag Basu,” said the filmmaker who is all praises for Anurag’s craftsmanship. “After Kites, this is one film that he is working on. He has written the script which is a combo of thriller, action and romance,” said Goldie who always wanted to work with Anurag. Abhishek is game for it, but the actress opposite him has not been decided yet. Ask Goldie who is his favourite actress, and he replies, “I married my favourite one...”
His wife Sonali Bendre, who has moved from films to television after marriage, lends a helping hand to her husband who is taking his TV show on air from next month. “It’s about a middle-class family that lives at Shivaji Park in Dadar. It deals with issues like space constraints, financial crunch, etc,” said Goldie. But now, it’s Abhishek’s movie that’s on the young filmmaker’s mind. “Abhishek is a very good actor and like any artist, his career too has its ups and downs. But I know that he’ll fit into Anurag’s film perfectly,” said Goldie, who has a busy year ahead.
