Nagpur, March 12: The original number ‘Dum Maaro Dum’, picturised on Zeenat Aman, was brilliant, Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan said here today.
Abhishek is playing a lead role in Rohan Sippy’s film, ‘Dum Maaro Dum’, which will release on April 22.
“Zeenat Aunt was brilliant in her performance in the Dev Anand-starrer ‘Hare Ram Hare Krishna’ some 40 years back,” said the Bachchan junior, who is here to promote the new film.
“It is a classic”, he added.
Flanked by Bipasha Basu and Rohan Sippy, Bachchan said they picked Nagpur for promotion of the film as the city is in the heart of the country, and a World Cup match between India and South Africa was a great occasion to launch the title track of the film.
Abhishek said the film was based on drug-abuse, set in Goa.
