Abhishek Bachchan's Funny Response About 'Kajra Re 2.0'
Apart from their Diwali appearance, Abhishek Bachchan recently attracted attention for his comments about the possibility of recreating the iconic song Kajra Re.
During an interview with BBC Asian Network, the actor recalled the memories associated with the popular track from his 2005 film Bunty Aur Babli.
Abhishek revealed that his birthday coincided with the song's shooting. Director Shaad Ali reportedly created a celebratory atmosphere on the sets for around four hours.
When asked whether he would be interested in a new version of Kajra Re, Abhishek responded enthusiastically.
He said he would absolutely love the idea but jokingly added that people would first have to convince Aishwarya Rai and his father, Amitabh Bachchan.
His humorous response brought back memories of the original song, which featured the trio together and became one of Bollywood's most memorable dance numbers.
What Are Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan Doing Professionally?
On the professional front, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was last seen in Mani Ratnam's 2023 film Ponniyin Selvan 2, where her performance received considerable attention.
Abhishek Bachchan, meanwhile, is preparing for his upcoming appearance in the action drama King, directed by Siddharth Anand. The film also features Shah Rukh Khan and Suhana Khan, with Abhishek reportedly playing an antagonist.
