Abhishek Bachchan's role in another father-daughter story
Moreover, Abhishek will also be seen in yet another father-daughter story, helmed by Shoojit Sircar. In the untitled film, Arjun, played by the actor, who came to the US in search of "The American Dream," now has a second chance at life, and he is taking advantage of it by rekindling the special relationship he has with his daughter. This film follows a father and daughter as they face the unexpected challenges of life and is both humorous and emotionally engaging. It also promises to make viewers realise how short life is and how important it is to treasure every second of it. A "celebration of life" in all its mundane, everyday mayhem, this touching story is touted to melt one's heart.
Along with Abhishek, the film also stars Johnny Lever, Ahilya Bamroo, and Jayant Kriplani.
