Decades ago, their fathers Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra rode a motorbike for the song ‘Yeh Dosti’ in Ramesh Sippy’s movie Sholay .
Now, Abhishek and Bobby are acting together for the first time in Shaad Ali’s forthcoming movie Jhoom Barabar Jhoom .
One scene in the film has Bobby and Abhi riding a bike. When the scene was to be shot, Shaad Ali came upon the idea of shooting the scene with a similar motorbike that Amitabh and Dharmendra had rode in ‘Sholay’.
A similar bike was arranged. Like their fathers, Bobby was made to sit on the driver’s seat while Abhi sat in the attached buggy.
Emotions ran high when the unitmembers saw both Abhi and Bobby seated on the bike just like their fathers did in ‘Sholay’. After the shot, everyone on the sets clapped.
However, before the shot was taken, Abhishek was a bit scared sitting in the buggy because he was not confident of Bobby’s driving skills. Bobby doesn’t drive the bike very often and this was certainly a cause of concern to Abhi.
‘Jhoom Barabar Jhoom’ has Bobby and Abhi pairing with Preity Zinta and Lara Dutta . Amitabh Bachchan plays the sutradhar in the film.
Both Abhi and Bobby sport very stylish looks in the film. Abhishek sports a different hairdo (long tresses) with a hairband and sharply tweaked moustache. Bobby also dons different looks. Some scenes have him in straight black hair. Others have him sporting long, blondish hair.
The movie’s music is given by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. The film is set to release on June 15.
