Seems hard to believe but the Bachchan family does throw a lot of surprises and this time it is a reel time role reversal of what they are in real life.

Abhishek Bachchan is expected to play Amitabh Bachchan’s father in R. Balki’s next project, “Pa”. This could be difficult to digest as we have always seen the opposite in reel as well as real life but its time to view it differently.

This is Amitabh’s second project with the creative director, R. Balki, first being, “Cheeni Kum” in which he played a chef who falls for a woman half his age. Though the story of his new project, “Pa” has been kept under the wraps, but Big B hinted in his blog that his look in “Pa” would surprise one and all.

Inside sources reveal that Big B plays a slightly mentally retarded and an awkward child of Abhishek. It is also learnt that Big B used to spend 5-6 hours getting the make-up done and the make-up artistes were flown in especially for this project from London.

There are rumors that Big B won’t be flaunting his stylish French beard in this movie. A source stated that no one from the production team is allowed to speak about the movie and no outsiders are allowed on the sets.

Well, we hope that the father-son duo rocks the vice-versa way as well.
