Abhishek Bachchan wants 'Drona' and Krrish to meet 
If Abhishek Bachchan had his way, he would want a film to be made in which 'Drona' and Krrish meet. Finally, the D day
has arrived for 'Drona', the much touted special effects treat with a smattering of mythology and martial arts thanks to
Priyanka Chopra displaying her skills at Gatka, a special fighting form from Punjab. The film, directed by Goldie Behl
boasts of as many as 1500 special effects, some of which include Abhishek's gravity defying stunts or sand storms
assuming the shape of a face a la 'The Mummy'.
Abhishek says he was captivated by the movie's subject the first time Goldie narrated it to him. Apart from acting in the
movie, Abhishek kept chipping in his suggestions throughout the making of 'Drona'. For instance, Goldie had initially
wanted Priyanka to play Abhi's love interest only. But Abhi thought she should also play 'Drona's bodyguard in the film
because the character of her father was a bodyguard of 'Drona's father. It was a simple case of duties passing down the
generations. Goldie liked the idea and changed Priyanka's role accordingly.
Both Abhi and Priyanka had to undergo rigorous physical training for their respective roles. In the film, Abhishek plays a
man born to a clan of legendary warriors who were entrusted the duty to protect a very important secret. Kay Kay Menon
plays an evil magician who wants to possess that secret. Priyanka plays a warrior who helps 'Drona' realize his identity
and helps him in his mission. |
