Following his father’s footsteps, Abhishek Bachchan is all set to make his debut in Bhojpuri films.

“One fine day, Abhishek had asked me as to why I am not casting him in my film. The offer to work in Bhojpuri cinema came from Abhishek himself. All I can say is Abhishek will be part of our upcoming Bhojpuri film,” said producer Deepak Sawant to PTI.

The producer said that the movie is a political movie.

“We have a film in place titled, 'Ganga Ramji'...it is a political movie. It is about how a third person, say politician gets benefit from the fight between two politicians. All I can say is that he (Abhishek) would be there in the film,” he said.

Amitabh Bachchan has worked with Deepak Sawant in three movies – ‘Ganga’, ‘Gangotri’ and ‘Ganga Devi’.

The movie ‘Ganga Devi’, a political thriller is all set to release post IPL. The movie not only stars Amitabh Bachchan but also Jaya Bachchan in it. Other than the Bachchan’s the movie also stars Bhojpuri actors Dinesh Lal Yadav and Pakhee Hegde besides Gulshan Grover in lead roles.

“We intend to release the film after IPL. We do not want to incur any losses with this film. Also, fans are crazy about IPL,” concluded producer Deepak Sawant.
