Abhishek’s a saviour!

Abhishek Bachchan will have many unforgettable moments to remember from his world tour. But the moment he’s probably going to remember the most is when he played saviour in real life. When the Bachchan’s arrived along with the other stars in Toronto, there was a huge stampede and chaos, so much so that a small child was caught in the middle of it all. Abhishek immediately rushed to the rescue of the tiny tot, who was separated from her parents. He picked her child’s parents.

The entire incident delayed the show, but helping the child get to where she belonged was of utmost priority to Abhishek. “This makes him a real-life Drona,” says director Goldie Behl. “Dro-na mean ‘the saviour’. On hearing of the incident, I felt as though the character from my film actually came to life!” And the teary-eyed parents of the child insisted that they were eternally grateful to him.

Abhishek's Super hero movie creates curiosity

The pre-release promos of Goldie Behl’s film Drona are creating so much curiosity that the maker Eros International is planning to unveil the film part by part with its characters on screen. The first look focused completely on Abhishek Bachchan with superb special effects. The second look of the film is all set to showcase the look of Kay Kay Menon and Priyanka Chopra on August 15 in theatres all over. Drona is a fantasy adventure, a first of its kind in India. With Abhishek and Priyanka in a never before seen avatar, a full-length theatrical trailer of Dro-na will be released with God Tussi Great Ho across all theatres. Eros is highly focused on this movie, one if its blockbuster releases this year, an exciting and first time visual treat for audiences, which will release across screens on the long holiday weekend of Eid and Gandhi Jayanti. As real world meets fantasy; the action adventure film is sure to thrill audiences – youngsters and adults alike.

Heroes’ movie to release on October 24th

The next big movie on the block is Heroes – which is somehow shaping up to seem like a Rang De Basanti. The comparing of a new generations aspiration with patriotic flavor. Only in “Rang De..” the patriots were based during the 1920’s while here it is contemporary. But the general thrust is the same, modern young men out on a voyage to discover themselves.

In Heroes the two main protagonists are Sohail Khan and Vatsal Sheth. The idea seems novel- two students of a film institute go to the border to deliver three letters. And during this assignment they come across the real heroes of the country – that is the soldiers who man our borders. Here the list gets a bit bigger with some erstwhile big stars – Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol, Mithun Chakraborty, Preity Zinta, Dino Morea, and starlet Riya Sen.

The promos look very fresh and clean. A lot of Ladakh and Leh – these places can never look jaded. The concept seems different. And the cast is a bit tricky. But all said and done eventually it has to be a good movie to click. Best of luck to this new set of heroes.
