Much has been talked and written about Abhishek Bachchan playing a superhero in Drona . However, we learn that is not the case.
The paradox was apparent when reports came that Abhishek plays a superhero in ‘Drona’ and Priyanka Chopra plays his bodyguard. Use your brains folks. Why would a superhero need a bodyguard?
The dust has now cleared. The film’s producer Shrishti Arya has clarified in a media report that ‘Drona’ is not a superhero flick.
Shrishti says Abhishek’s role in the film is very unique but he doesn’t play a superhero like Superman, Batman or Spiderman. Having said this, Shrishti also adds that Abhishek has a lot of action sequences in the film.
So what is ‘Drona’ really about?
Shrishti clears the air without giving away the story. She says ‘Drona’ is a fantasy flick with heavy doses of action, adventure, drama and special effects.
Abhishek has worked hard on his body for his role in the film. In fact, he has done the action scenes himself and without the help of any body double. Not just Abhi, even Priyanka Chopra has trained in traditional Sikh martial art called Gatka for her role.
‘Drona’ is being directed by Abhishek’s good friend Goldie Behl . The movie is currently on the floors. The next schedule will be in Prague. The movie is set to release in the summer of 2008.
