Abhishek Bachchan's upcoming film Bob Biswas will premiere on ZEE 5 streaming platform on December 3.
The film is a Boundscript production presented by Red Chillies Entertainment, and it stars Abhishek and Chitrangada Singh in the lead.
The film is directed by Diya Annapurna Ghosh, marking her feature directorial debut. Shot in Kolkata, the film is a crime-drama set against the backdrop of a love story, showcasing the dual life led by a contract killer, Bob Biswas
Bob Biswas is produced by Gauri Khan, Sujoy Ghosh and Gaurav Verma.
Speaking about the film, director Diya Annapurna Ghosh said, "I have had the most fantastic experience designing 'Bob Biswas', a crime-drama that has a love-story in its essence. This film came to me in 2020 which was one of the most difficult times in all of our lives. I was blessed with a fabulous set of actors like Abhishek and Chitrangda amongst others who have given it their all."
Filmmaker, writer and producer Sujoy Ghosh from Boundscript added that "this is a new 'Bob Biswas', he is like any of us. In life we all have various roles to play, whether as a parent, spouse or a friend and in each role we are equally responsible and accountable. This is the world of Bob, where he is trying to cope with each role as his life unfolds before him." He added that creating this world and Bob was super exciting and having Abhishek onboard has made the "film even cooler. I genuinely hope that the audience enjoys what they see".
Gaurav Verma, Producer & COO Red Chillies Entertainment said, "It's a unique film, a character spin-off, something we have never attempted before. It was exciting to work with Diya, who has transformed into a director with a lot of promise in her very first film."
Notably, Bob Biswas is a fictional character from the film Kahaani (2012), a poker-faced contract killer that became a striking personality for the audiences. Bob Biswas is the first character-based spin-off film and will attempt to show fans of the character the many facets of his dual nature.
