Mom’s turn now

Jaya Bachchan will play reel mom to Abhishek in Drona
Jaya Bachchan will play reel mom to Abhishek in Drona

He’s played a son to his father in more films than one. Now it’s mom’s turn.

Jaya Bachchan has so far not had an opportunity to play screen mother to son Abhishek in any film barring the Bengali film Desh where Abhishek put in a very special appearance as Jaya’s NRI son.

Now the two will be seen as a full-fledged mother-and-son pair in family-friend Goldie Behl’s Drona.

Goldie hasn’t made a film since his debut Bas itna Sa Khwab Hai in 2001 with Abhishek Bachchan

Says a source, "Drona is a big film in terms of canvas and budget. But it has only three main characters, played by Jayaji, Abhishek and Priyanka Chopra. So there will be ample scope for the mother and son to interact."

Incidentally, Jaya and Abhishek are also coming together in Prodip Sarkar’s film, though not as mother and son.
