Abhishek Bachchan will soon be seen playing the role of recently arrested gangster Chhota Rajan in Sanjay Gupta's upcoming drama flick.
The movie is reportedly based on Indian author S Hussain Zaidi's bestseller, Byculla To Bangkok, and will be set in the era when gangsters ruled supreme and will also explore the nexus between the police, underworld, politicians and mill owners.
Interestingly, this will be the second time the 39-year-old actor will be playing the role of a gangster after 'Yuva'.
Sanjay last worked with Abhishek's wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's comeback movie 'Jazbaa'.
