Abhishek Bachchan in and as ‘Bob Biswas’

Vidya Balan-starrer Kahaani had many memorable characters. Bob Biswas was one of the them. Bengali actor Saswata Chatterjee originally played the character of the serial killer. 

On Monday, it was announced that Red Chillies Entertainment along with Sujoy Ghosh’s Bound Script Production will produce Bob Biswas with Abhishek Bachchan in the lead. The film is a spin-off of the character where fans will get to see many facets of his dual nature.

Bob Biswas, the poker-faced contract killer instantly entered cinema folklore by capturing the imagination of many viewers. The character spawned dedicated social media pages, memes and is a favourite with Bollywood pop-culture. His trademark line Nomoshkar, ek minute, became a huge hit. 

Diya Annapurna Ghosh, whose short film was chosen for the prestigious Cannes Film Festival in 2018, will make her directorial debut with Bob Biswas.

The film will be produced by Gauri Khan, Sujoy Ghosh and Gaurav Verma. Bob Biswas is a Bound Script production presented by Red Chillies Entertainment.

The movie is slated to go on floors in early 2020 and will release in the same year.
