The Bachchans are a pretty close clan. That's why it's never surprising to see Amitabh Bachchan acting opposite his son Abhishek Bachchan. Well apparently they're at it again. This time the movie is going to be directed by French director Jan Kounen.
Paris producer Manuel De La Roche who is working on 'The Secret History of the Dalai Lamas', made a special request for the father and son to be in the film together. "The film will trace the history of the Dalai Lamas all the way from the 14th century. It will blend dramatized re-enactments involving the earlier incarnations with excerpts from an interview with the current Dalai Lama. We are very keen to cast the father and son duo in key roles in the film. Sharon Stone (who is a practicing Tibetan Buddhist) will step in as the narrator, while Hollywood star Richard Gere will also be involved with the project," said Manuel De La Roche.
'The Secret History of the Dalai Lamas'will be shot later this year in Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh and other parts of the Indian subcontinent. The film is scheduled to be released around fall of 2010.
We want to know what our readers think about this project featuring the father and son duo. Will this film make them global stars? Or would you say they are already?
