Amitabh Bachchan and Varun Dhawan are coming together for a Pradeep Sarkar film called Dabba Gul, produced by Yash Raj Films. Big B's dates are being locked, an insider informs us, and talks are on with Varun who's keen and is trying to weave it into his schedule. The basic premise? Says another source, "Bachchan Sr plays the head of the dabbawalas in Mumbai whereas Varun is an MBA topper from one of the premium management institutes and he decides to enrol for a two-month internship with the dabbawalas instead." How their characters meet and what happens next forms the rest of the story. The source continued, "It's about the bond that the two form and how Big B helps him learn the ropes of the business. It's a slice-of-life feel-good film, but it's also inspirational in many ways." Points of reference? "It's about the dignity of labour. It's more like today's Naya Daur although the humour is designed on the lines of a Munnabhai," our khabroo adds. |
