Abhishek Bachchan will be seen playing a corrupt politician in a political-comedy drama, titled Dasvi. Dasvi follows a corrupt illiterate Chief Minister played by Abhishek Bachchan who goes to jail and— to avoid labour work that happens inside the prison —starts preparing for 10th class examination. Yami Gautam is said to be playing the role of a jailer who keeps a close tab on his activities while Nimrat Kaur will play Abhishek’s wife. The film that marks the directorial debut of Tushar Jalota is well-written and narrates the importance of education so beautifully.
Known for his capacity to play any character with ease, Abhishek will be seen playing a politician for the second time — his first was in Paa (2009), where played a young politician-father to Amitabh Bachchan. The Junior Bachchan is said to have been in regular touch with Dinesh Vijan and Tushar Jalota throughout the lockdown and is currently finalizing the shooting timelines for it. He will apparently start shooting for Dasvi in February 2021 after completing the Kahaani spin-off Bob Biswas backed by Shah Rukh Khan and Sujoy Ghosh. Meanwhile, Abhishek is next gearing up for the direct OTT release of Anurag Basu’s dark-comedy anthology Ludo that premieres this Diwali weekend on Netflix.
