Abhishek Bachchan is headed to London to attend the Olympics as brand ambassador of Omega watches, says father Amitabh, who had carried the torch ahead of the opening ceremony.

“Abhishek travels out to the Olympics tonight. As brand ambassador for Omega and the watch company being one of the sponsors of London 2012, he goes to attend some events! Lucky,” Bachchan posted on his blog.

Earlier this month, Amitabh had carried the Olympic torch, during the Olympic Torch Relay, organised ahead of the opening ceremony of the grand sporting extravaganza in London.

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan and his family had some anxious moments after an unidentified person broke into their house Jalsa. The 69-year-old actor wrote about the incident in his blog, saying that the person is in the custody of the police, who are now investigating the case.

“Spent some anxious moments yesterday since we had a break in! The guy was caught and is with the police now under investigation. Seems like a professional, for he had entered the most sensitive area of the house, Jalsa,” Amitabh wrote on his blog srbachchan.tumblr.com, Saturday.

Jalsa is the new house where Amitabh and Jaya live with son Abhishek, daughter-in-law Aishwarya and grand-daughter Aaradhya while younger brother Ajitabh lives in Prateeksha.

Janak is used as their office. Janak also has a gym which the Bachchans use regularly.

The entire star cast of Bol Bachchan is on the ninth sky these days as the flick is getting a stupendous response from the audience moreover it is all set to touch the benchmark of 100 crores soon. Film pundits hold a view that the magic of Ajay Devgn and Rohit Shetty has worked again.

Bol Bachchan has picked up the way everyone had expected from a Rohit Shetty – Ajay Devgan movie. It is doing great business and people are pretty confident that this too will enter the Rs. 100 Crore club after Golmaal Returns and Singham. So, now Ajay has turned his attention towards his next movie ‘Son Of Sardar’ which releases this Diwali and will take on Shahrukh Khan’s romantic movie directed by Yash Chopra. But tell this to Ajay and he dismisses the thought saying he is not taking on anyone.

When asked if he thinks the 100 Crore club is not restricted to only Khans anymore, Ajay said that not every film by the Khans did well at the theatres. They used to deliver hit films before and they still are doing the same. Earlier, silver jubilee collections were the benchmark and now it is Rs. 100 Crores.

On being quizzed, he cleared the air and told the sources, “I am not taking on any Khan. My film is an entertainer and Diwali is the right time to release it. It is a complete masala film and I am least concerned about taking on anybody. I don’t wish to take on any one and I don’t think I am big enough to take on anyone. I am just concentrating on my film.”

Abhishek Bachchan has wowed film fraternity with his rib-tickling performance in “Bol Bachchan” – Kunal Kohli said he is “phenomenal” in the movie, while Ashutosh Gowariker found him “outstanding”.

Rohit Shetty’s “Bol Bachchan” was screened for Bollywood Thursday. The guest liked the slapstick comedy as well as Ajay Devgn and others performances, but Abhishek impressed them the most. The film has hit screens Friday.

This is what they have to say:

Kunal Kohli: It was absolutely hilarious. I think Rohit Shetty and team have done an outstanding job. Abhishek is phenomenal, Ajay is also fantastic. Everyone has done a great job. I was laughing so much, my jaws are still hurting.

Ashutosh Gowariker: Very good, a riotous film, very funny. I think Ajay and Abhishek are brilliant in the film. The entire cast is brilliant but I found Abhishek outstanding.

Suniel Shetty: Mind blowing! Abhishek’s best performance. Abhishek at his best and I was reminded of Amitji (Amitabh Bachchan) in his young days. Ajay is also fantastic. The whole film is outstanding and according to me, it should be the year’s biggest grosser. I don’t believe in Rs.100 crore or Rs.200 crore, but it is a true entertainer.

Prakash Jha: It’s sheer madness, lovely, brilliant film. He (Rohit Shetty) has surpassed his “Golmaal”.

Meanwhile, Abhishek is overwhelmed with the response.

“So far the response has been fantastic. You can see I am smiling. I am very, very happy that initial screenings have gone well. The audience will watch it now and fingers crossed,” the 36-year-old said at the screening.

When told that his work is being appreciated the most, Abhishek said: “Thank you for saying this. I hope the audience also loves it. Everyone has worked hard and it feels great when you ask such questions.”

Just after a cameo jig in the title song, Big B offers a disclaimer: he isn’t a part of this film, even though his name is. And that is hint enough for the wise. But for those who don’t know, Bol Bachchan (BB) jams chopsticks up the nose of Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s comic classic ‘Gol Maal’ and digs itself six feet under with it. While the story is same in theory, being a Rohit Shetty film only adds some cars nailing somersaults, trucks attempting a ballet, baddies playing mid-air Garba after being biffed and Ajay Devgn drawing his eyebrows close enough to show that he means business.

The story has Abhishek Bachchan as Abbas and sister Sania (Asin) left in dreadful conditions after losing their inherited possessions to a relative. Following an advice from family friend Shastri, they make a shift to Ranakpur, b, where they bump into a pack of crowded actors including Ajay Devgn. Rest follows a round and round crazy confusion in story.

If you were thinking that two Bachchans (Amitabh Bachchan has guest appearance in the movie) make it worth watching then watch your words as double sometimes can bring trouble. Abhishek Bachchan in over glitzy, shimmery flower prints has not been able to come up well with the character. Ajay Devgn who ends up speaking not-so-funny Hinglish one liners couldn’t retain the fun element in the movie. The plot is not strong enough and script is not well written to justify the character.

‘Mooch nahin toh kuch nahin’ may seem like an understatement in this film as almost everyone, excluding Asin and Prachi (thankfully!) proudly jounce their bushy glory on their upper lips. But with a cardboard set and not enough costumes for all the extras, glueing on a mooch can be a cost-effective and efficient way to portray a village in Rajasthan. Kay bole se, Producer-sa?

Rohit Shetty‘s upcoming movie Bol Bachchan will hit the silver screen on July 6. This movie is all about entertainment starring Ajay Devgn, Abhishek Bachchan, Asin and Prachi Desai. One of the movies which the audiences think that will join the 100 crore club. So lets wait and watch what happens.

Bolllywood actors Ajay Devgan, Abhishek Bachan and Director Rohit Shetty hold maces and looking quite identical during a promotional event for their new film ‘Bol Bachchan’ in New Delhi.

The romantic comedy is scheduled to be released on July 6.

Abhishek Bachchan, is son of the angry young man of Bollywood non other that Abitabh Bachchan. His upcoming movie Bol Bachchan will release on July 6. Movie is of Rohit Shetty Starring Ajay Devgn, Abhishek Bachchan, Asin and Prachi Desai.

Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan, a foodie, pampered his taste buds by gorging on Gujarati delicacy Jalebi Fafda on the sets of “Taarak Mehta Ka Oolta Chashma”.

The “Bol Bachchan” star was on the sets of the show to promote the forthcoming movie, and was treated to a variety of food items.

Lead actress Disha Vakani, who essays Daya Ben in the comedy, offered Abhishek some Jalebi Fafda, and he was enthusiastic about trying it.

He not just ate it all alone, he went around with the dish and took the food tray to everyone personally. He also made sure everyone on the sets tasted it, including the staff and the technicians, said a source.

Bol Bachchan, an upcoming movie under Rohit Shetty‘s Direction is going to release soon. The movie trailer has impressed the audiences,and people are expecting to do well in the Box-Office. The producers of the movie is Ajay Devgn and Ashtavinayak. Appu Wadhwani, ex-distributer for the upcoming film Bol Bachchan, remake of Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s 1979 comedy Golmaal, has filed a legal complaint against the producers to get his token of Rs 1.1 cr money back. He wants that Bol Bachchan should not be allowed in theatres until his dues are cleared.

The distribution rights of Bol Bachchan, starring Ajay Devgn and Abhishek Bachchan had been sold for Rs 53.2 crore to a Nagpur builder Appu Wadhwani. However, after Wadhwani paid up the token amount of Rs 1.1 crore, the deal fell through.

Now, Wadhwani wants the token money back which he had paid to the producers, Ajay Devgn and Ashtavinayak. He has filed a case against the producers of the film.

Said the builder, “I wrote several letters and sent many text messages to the makers of Bol Bachchan regarding my money. They kept dilly-dallying. It is clear they don’t want to give the money back. I have no option but to file a legal case against them. What they have done to me is totally unacceptable.”

So lets wait and watch whats happens with the release of Bol Bachchan. Will this complain really affect the release of Bol Bachchan.

The Players star and legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan’s son, Abhishek Bachchan is indeed jealous of his wife Aishwarya! Why is this, I hear you ask? It’s because the recent father (of 6 month-old Aaradhya Bachchan) is jealous that Aishwarya isn’t focusing her attention on him anymore! According to Abhishek, “Ash’s day starts and ends with the baby. Since she insists on doing everything for Aaradhya, including giving her a maalish (massage), bathing her and attending to her round-the-clock, I’m now waiting in queue for Ash’s attention.”

We guess that after a few years of being the centre of attention, it looks like Papa Bachchan doesn’t like the divided attention of Aishwarya between his new daughter and himself!

Adjusting to the new-born was hard for Abhishek at first, “Aaradhya wakes up in the night for her feed and a nappy change. Ash, who’s completely clued in, is up in a jiffy. However, I must confess, it took time for me to get used to the new routine. When the baby cried, I woke up too, but couldn’t go back to sleep immediately.” So Aishwarya told him to stay out of the bedroom, until “Aaradhya was slightly older,” Abhishek confesses. More

Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai’s baby Aaradhya completed her six months yesterday on May 16. Papa Abhishek is ecstatic, but confesses that he has to wait for Aishwarya’s attention because the new mother is always busy with Baby B.

While talking to a daily recently, Abhishek Bachchan excitedly expressed the joys of being a father, but not without revealing that he has been pushed to the background with Aishwarya giving all the attention to the baby.

Abhishek remembers his initial months with the baby when he used to land up on the sets of his film yawning because of the baby’s sleep routine that kept him awake all night. Then Aishwarya even suggested him to sleep in another room till Aaradhya grows up a bit.

Well, it did take some time for Abhi to get acquainted with the fatherly ways. Now after six months of his baby’s birth, Abhishek can carry Aaradhya all the time, can play with her, and even attempt to change diapers, but he admits that with Aishwarya around he doesn’t have much to do. More

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan has expressed shock over the death of child artist Taruni Sachdev, who played his school friend in “Paa”, in Monday’s plane crash in Nepal.

“Just reading that Taruni Sachdev the girl child artist in ‘Paa’, has perished in Nepal plane crash .. please god may this not be true,” Amitabh posted on his Twitter page.

At 14, Tarini had already featured in almost 50 ads and did a cameo in “Paa”. She was among 13 Indians who were killed when the aircraft crashed into a hill while coming in to land at Jomsom in western Nepal.

Amitabh, 69, has memories of Jomsom.

“Jomsom, where the plane crash in Nepal took place is where we shot ‘Khuda Gawah’, a raw airfield and most difficult to land on,” posted Big B. More

The Bollywood grapevine is buzzing with rumours about Amitabh Bachchan shooting for his next film, towards the end of April. Industry sources reveal that the actor could feature in a song in Ajay Devgn’s next release, also featuring Abhishek Bachchan in the lead. The 69-year-old legend had been resting after two abdominal surgeries earlier this February and recently returned to face the camera for a promo of the upcoming Indian Premiere League.

According to our source, director Rohit Shetty has five days of shoot left, including a song. “The song features all the principal actors — Ajay Devgn, Abhishek, Asin Thottumukal and Prachi Desai. Someone suggested getting Amitji to also feature in this song, as it’s a very lively and foot tapping number. Someone else in the team also suggested getting the actor to introduce the film to the audience,” said our source. More
