The on screen persona of Big B oozes an aura that is hard to forget. His role in the classic film Zanjeer is still remembered by film lovers all over the globe. The intense, no-nonsense role of a cop played by Big B is considered to be one of his best known performances of his career.Now, Big B’s feat is being attempted again.

This time by none other than his own son Abhishek Bachchan. According to latest reports, Jr. Bachchan is essaying a role that is closely inspired from his dad’s act in Zanjeer. In the upcoming film Dum Maro Dum, Abhishek will play the role of a tough cop who is up against the drug mafia.

In order to make this role a repeat of Big B’s classic act, the makers are working overtime to give Abhishek some special attention and are keeping it as close to Big B’s character in Zanjeer as possible.

All we need to do is call up and tell we need to meet,” says Nana.

It has been a wonder for the people from the industry as well as fans that even though a majority of Bollywood is on Twitter, Kareena Kapoor continues to evade the microblogging site. At Shahrukh Khan’s press conference for Ra.1, she was asked why she wasn’t tweeting yet.

Kareena expressed that she was still not sure about the whole idea and would need at least another month to settle on an answer. Kareena needs to think about it so carefully because at present she’s too tied up with work to sign up on the site and start using it. Also, she wonders if she will be able to stick by it regularly once she starts it.

Well, let’s give Kareena the time she needs. Maybe we’ll see her on Twitter soon!
