Big B refused a role with Abhi

Cover of Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna - (2disc set)

Sounds strange, untrue or just nix the thought!!!

Unassuming but that's true, Amitabh Bachchan has apparently rejected
the idea of working in the movie Aladin with son Abhishek Bachchan.

Director Sujoy Ghosh initially wanted to rope in Abhishek in the movie
which is based on the Arabian tale of Aladin and Genie. Big B instead
made Sujoy rope in Riteish Deshmukh for the role.

Sujoy says that he narrated the script to Big B after which the
superstar requested him not to cast Abhishek in the role. The reason
Big B and his son were already working in Pa and so he wanted to work
with a fresh face this time.

The father and the son duo have been part of some hits including
Sarkar, Sarkar Raj and Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna.
