Big B refuses to work with Abhishek

Sounds unbelievable but thats true, Amitabh Bachchan
apparently rejected the idea of working in the movie Aladin with son Abhishek
Bachchan. Director Sujoy Ghosh wanted to cast Abhishek in the movie which is
based on the Arabian tale of Aladin and Genie. Big B instead made Sujoy rope in
Riteish Deshmukh for the role.

Sujoy says that he narrated the script to Big B after which the superstar
requested him not to cast Abhishek in the role. The reason Big B and his son
were already working in Pa and so he wanted to work with a fresh face this time.
The father and the son duo have been part of some hits including Sarkar, Sarkar
Raj and Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna.
