Abhishek Bachchan’s next, Lefty is a Prabhu Dheva directorial. It’s about a normal guy who turns into his city’s saviour, when circumstances demand it.
Kona Venkat, who formerly wrote Ready and has scripted Boney Kapoor’s Mom, is writing the screenplay of Lefty. “I was signed by Abhishek three years ago. His friend heard a one-line narration from me in New York and told him about it. Abhishek asked me to come for a narration to his office. He loved the script. It’s a science fiction thriller, something like Ghajini and is about an eccentric guy who is left-handed, just like Abhishek is in real life. Prabhu Dheva came on board this year.”
Kona adds, “Abhishek’s character doesn’t have super powers, but his character becomes powerful. He will build his body for the film as he needs to have a certain kind of body type for it.”
The film goes on floors next year and will be an AB Corp production.
