Abhishek Bachchan to play an undercover cop

Rohan Sippy���s untitled film takes a lead from a number of headlines about the alarming crime situation in Goa.
According to sources, it���s a gritty film about a cop on a drug-busting mission in Goa - quite unlike the Abhishek Bachchan starrer Bluffmaster, which Rohan had earlier directed.
A source said, ���Rohan and Abhishek are close friends. When they decided to work together again, they had many options, but they decided to swerve away from drama and romance and instead make a dark film based on real life incidents.���
The untitled film about drug trafficking in Goa will be largely shot on the beaches of Goa with Abhishek playing an undercover cop.
Sridhar Raghavan known for his realistic newspaper-inspired work is said to be heavily influenced by Steven Soderbergh���s Traffic. Meanwhile, Abhishek has been asked to study narcotic neurosis and criminal quirks to master the role of the cop.
The source added, ���Abhishek has earlier played an undercover cop in the Dhoom series, but this is a different territory for him and also for Rohan Sippy. Abhishek is busy collecting as much data as he can get on drug dealing in Goa.���
When we asked Rohan Sippy about his forthcoming film, he said, ���I���m unfortunately not at liberty to speak about it at the moment other than that we are working on a thriller written by Sridhar Raghavan, starring Abhishek.���
