Sarkar Raj or "Bachchan Raj"

This Friday (6^th June) saw the release of Ram Gopal Varma’s much awaited flick “Sarkar Raj” starring the three Bachchans- the Big B, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. - in the lead role. The Bachchan family along with Jaya Bachchan have been working very hard the last few weeks promoting the film. The reserved and media shy Bachchans are all over the place whether it is the newspapers, magazines, or the television. Press conferences, posing for the media and making their presence at major events have been some of the events on the Bachchan agenda. Aishwarya and Abhishek have been posing for the camera as the lovey dovey pair and it has been weeks of displays of affection and making  impressions for the Bachchans.

Guess the Bachchans know how to do it in style. The family was also seen at the premiere of the film “Woodstock Villa” introducing Sikander Kher. The Khers are family friends and its celebration time for Anupam Kher and Kirron Kher with their son setting foot into the world of cinema. The Bachchans would definitely not miss this special occasion. The entire family was there with the Khers to celebrate their special moment.

Ram Gopal Varma is all set to make a come back with a big bang (especially after his previous disaster). “Sarkar Raj” is a political drama that is rumored to be based on the Enron Power project which was cause for a major controversy in Maharashtra. The film opened to packed houses. Looks like the Bachchans are having the last laugh after all .

Abhishek loves his daddy

Abhishek Bachchan has always maintained a good relationship with his father and father-son roles like Khabhi Alvida Na Kehna have been highly appreciated. Even though both are busy with movies, Amitabh Bachchan has been a huge success in the blogging world and he's been encouraging his family to participate in his new hobby as well. The first contribution came from Abhishek in an unexpected way, when he left a very sweet comment on his father's blog, under the name "Little B".

"I remember it was my first ever appearance on the school basketball team. It was a practice session the night before the big game when I landed on a team mates’ foot and ended up tearing all the ligaments in my foot … Upon hearing of my accident you cancelled all your shoots and flew to Switzerland to be with me. I will never forget the visual of you cheering for my house team and more importantly ME!
Later that evening I remember you telling me the same story that you have shared with everyone today. especially dadajis words!!!!!
”mann ka ho to achcha, na ho to zyada achcha ”
These 10 words gave me strength then and till date guide me.
Just wanted to share this with you and tell you that I love you for being the man that you are and the best father a boy could ever ask for and for always being there for me."

And this is the part where we all go "Awwwww." It really is a very sweet thing to write and a very good way to declare to the world that Abhishek loves his father. And you'll see the love again in Sarkar Raj, coming to a screen near you on 6th June.

Abhi-Ash to Star in Mani Ratnam’s Next

Abhishek-Aishwarya, the lovey-dovey couple of Bollywood, still smitten by the love bug are once again coming together to recreate their onscreen magic.

Aishwarya who won the Miss World title, went on to make an entry onto the Bollywood scene. She has carved a niche for herself here to say the least. With several hit films like “Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam”, “Devdas”, the popular number “Kajarare” of “Bunty and Babli” to her credit, the beautiful actress definitely has gone places. She ultimately decided to tie the knot with Abhishek Bachchan on the 20th April 2007. She came as a whiff of fresh air into his life after the much media-hyped Abhishek-Karisma break-up. After the personal  disasters the couple had found love at last.

Abhi-Ash starred together in the hit film “Dhoom 2.” They created waves with the Mani Ratnam biggie “Guru” and are now all set to recreate the magic. The chemistry between the two was evident in “Guru.” They are going to be paired together in none other than Mani Ratnam’s  next “Lajjo”. The announcement of the film has already led to a lot of speculation. The genius of Mani Ratnam combined with the charisma of Abhi-Ash, the film would sure be one worth waiting for.
