Abhishek Bachchan's next a thriller drama

Actor Abhishek Bachchan is teaming up with director Nishikant Kamat for a thriller drama.

The project will be produced by KriArj entertainment and Kyta Productions.

"Abhishek has loved the idea and he is charged up for this film as he has never tried his hands at thriller films.

There is no specific prep work required for the film," sources close to the project said.

"The shoot for the film will begin from May this year and hopefully the film will release during winter. The film will mostly be shot in two schedules," the sources added.

Apart from this project, KriArj entertainment have also tied up with John Abraham's production house JA Entertainment for a six movie deal and Anushka Sharma's Clean Slate Films.

Abhishek Bachchan, star of films like Delhi-6, Sarkar, Yuva, Dostana and Happy New Year, was last seen in 2016's Housefull 3 in which he played the role of a 'cool dude' for which he's gone for a pretty different look. Previously, Abhishek had rapped for a song 'Right Here Right Now' in his 2005 hit film Bluffmaster.
