Abhishek Bachchan’s new movie Bob Biswas is a spin-off for the 2012 thriller movie ‘Kahaani’ directed, co-written, and co-produced by Sujoy Ghosh starring Vidya Balan, Parambrata Chatterjee, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
Bob Biswas is the story by Sujoy Ghosh and co-written by Sujoy Ghosh and directorial debut of Divya Annapurna Ghosh, daughter of Sujoy Ghosh.
The official announcement for Bob Biswas was made by Red Chillies Entertainment on 25 November 2019 and finally released on the OTT platform, ZEE5 on December 3, 2021.
Bob Biswas has been appreciated by both the fans and critics in the same way. The film got a rating of 7.2 in IMDb and got about 3.5million views over its first weekend.
Soon after its release, the film earned rave reviews from audiences who were blown away by Abhishek Bachchan’s metamorphosis into the eponymous character.
This is the first time fans have seen Abhishek Bachchan in a new persona, in which he appears as a semi-bald, overweight middle-aged guy who works as an undercover hitman for hire.
Abhishek Bachchan declined to wear a prosthetic stomach for his role in Bob Biswas and instead opted to gain weight to seem as real as possible.
He also over-weighted about 100 kilograms during the shoot however, he was happy with the outcome. In addition to Abhishek Bachchan, the other supporting actors like Chitrangda Singh, Samara Tijori, Tina Desai, Paran Bandopadhyay, Purab Kohli and many others are also being applauded for their actions in this film.
Bob Biswas recounts the adventures of Bob Biswas, a middle-aged hitman for hire who awakens from a long sleep with no recollection of his past including his own family.
As he tries to remember his identity, a few episodes from his past come alive, putting him in a moral dilemma between the history of his deeds versus his newly developed sense of right and wrong.
The film Bob Biswas is produced by Gauri Khan and Gaurav Verma via Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment alongside Sujoy Ghosh’s Bound Script Production and directed by debutante Diya Annapurna Ghosh.
