Abhishek Bachchan starred in filmmaker Rohit Shetty's directorial debut Zameen, which hit the silver screen in 2003. After that, the two teamed up for the multi-starrer Bol Bachchan in 2012, which turned out to be a great money spinner at the box office. Though we have not seen the duo collaborating again after Bol Bachchan, the two share a close bond. And if latest reports are to be believed, Rohit is planning to cast Abhishek Bachchan in his next directorial Simmba.
Rohit Shetty & Abhishek BachchanAccording to sources, Shetty wants Bachchan to play the negative role in the film which stars Ranveer Singh and Sara Ali Khan in lead roles. It is a powerful parallel role. An official announcement is awaited though.
Simmba, a remake of the Telugu film, Temper, is co-produced by Karan Johar and Rohit.
