Mumbai, January 26: Their recent role reversal in ‘Paa’ had won them rave reviews, but filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma says that he did not even consider reuniting Amitabh and Abhishek Bachchan on-screen in ‘Rann’.
Varma who directed the father-son duo in ‘Sarkar’ and ‘Sarkar Raj’ said that he decided against casting the two Bachchans because he did not want the real-life relationship between the actors guide his film.
“The point is that we have already explored the father-son relationship between Amitabh and Abhishek in ‘Sarkar’. You can’t make a film thinking, ‘Ok, let me bring these men together and their real life bonding with spill on to screen as well’. Films do not get made that way,” Varma told PTI.
In the multi starrer ‘Rann’, Amitabh spearheads the show with Kannada actor Sudeep, who was last seen in Varma’s ‘Phoonk’, playing his son.
