Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan, who recently wrapped up the shooting of Bob Biswas, which is produced by Shah Rukh Khan and Sujoy Ghosh, will reportedly kickstart the filming of his upcoming venture titled Dasvi from February 22 in Agra. The film will be directed by debutant Tushar Jalota and produced by Dinesh Vijan. Talking about the film, a source close to the film told PinkVilla, “All through the lockdown, Abhishek has been in constant touch with Tushar and Dinoo, to discuss this film and it’s finally all set to go on the floors from February 22. It’s a script close to Abhishek’s heart and he is looking forward to get into the tale that chronicles the journey of a corrupt politician.” Also Read - Aishwarya Rai Bachchan shares a loving selfie with Abhishek Bachchan and Aaradhya from the Guru actor's birthday celebrations
The source added, “The title of the film is Dasvi, which indicates 10th grade, as Abhishek’s character is that of a SSC failed Chief Minister. The film is unlike any political film made in Bollywood as the narrative is entangled with a lot of humour.” Also Read - Spotted: Salman Khan looks dashing in black, Khushi Kapoor flaunts her curls, Kartik Aaryan impresses with his biker avatar
Talking about receiving the positive response for his look in Bob Biswas, Abhishek Bachchan told Mid-day, “The reaction was an endorsement that we are doing something right. I believe that if you look the character, half your job is done. In Kahaani, Bob Biswas is portly, so I had to pile on the kilos.

Commenting on doing multi-starrers, Abhishek had told HT, “I am very comfortable and enjoy doing a multi- star cast or ensemble piece. I have done a lot of multi-starrers, and if not all, they have been with highly accomplished actors like Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan or my father (Amitabh Bachchan). It’s just a pleasure to be around and learn from them. The silver lining is that when you are in the frame with these people, you live off reflected glory to some extent. They are so good, they make you look good!”
