Screen Talk: Abhishek’s strange tale

It’s really strange how the idea for a film originates, sometimes. Apparently, actor Abhishek Bachchan, relating how he actually signed Mani Ratnams Guru, informs that Ratnam and he were actually working on a different script when the director suddenly had a change of heart. He told Abhishek that he felt like making Guru instead because he found it to be very interesting. Abhishek Bachchan, who reposes his trust in the filmmaker, heard him out and immediately agreed to do the movie.
