Abhishek and Ashutosh team up

Abhishek Bachchan has teamed up with director Ashutosh Gowariker's new flick, titled ‘Khelein Hum Ji Jaan Sey’.

The film is reportedly a period film and is based on the Chittgong uprising, will the lead Abhishek will play the character of Surjya Das.



The director is no stranger to period flicks, he has, after all directed Lagaan and Jodha Akbar in the past. Apart from Abhishek Bachchan, the rest of the supporting cast will be made up of relatively unknowns or newcomers as Gowariker plans to introduce some new talent to Bollywood.

And contrary to earlier beliefs, Aishwarya Rai will not be part of ‘Khelein Hum Ji Jaan Sey’.

The curiously titled ‘Khelein Hum Ji Jaan Sey’ will chart the events in Chittagong between 1900 and 1950, when revolutionaries and opposition movements grew during this time. Abhishek Bachchan plays Surya Sen, the chief architect of anti-British freedom movement in Chittagong.

We wish Ashu all the best for his upcoming film, WHAT'S YOUR RASHEE (releasing September 25) and looking forward to his first time teaming up with Abhishek Bachchan.
