Mumbai: The grand persona of the greatest icon of Bollywood, Amitabh Bachchan has no parallel. But, the only person who comes closest to the personality he attains is undeniably his own son, Abhishek Bachchan. Buzz has it that Abhishek will be portraying the role of a tough cop, very much in the lines of his dad’s path breaking role in ‘Zanjeer’. The intense, no-nonsense role of a cop played by Big B is considered to be one of his best-known performances. And now his son Abhishek is all set to reprise the role. The film that carved a definite image of Amitabh as one ‘angry young man’ of the time was appreciated worldwide and the same is expected to happen for Jr Bachchan. According to the reports, in the upcoming film ‘Dum Maro Dum’, Abhishek will play the role of a tough cop who is up against the drug mafia. In order to make this role a repeat of Big B`s classic act, the makers are working overtime to give Abhishek some special attention and are keeping it as close to Big B`s character in ‘Zanjeer’ as possible.
