AB Baby might play Kishore Kumar,Movie on Kishore Kumar directed by Sujit Sarkar

 Kishore Kumar's stories oft make the rounds amongst ageing spot boys and light men. Most often the gate keepers of studios like Mehboob, Filmalaya and Filmistan can regale you with a story of Kishore Kumar that is bound to bring a smile to your lips. And now UTV is planning to bring to life, Kishore Kumar on celluloid.

UTV's line up of films is big. After films like Jodhaa Akbar, A Wednesday, Fashion making brisk business, their success rate is better than most production houses. And the latest `big' film that is on the anvil is the one that is based on the life of Kishore Kumar.

After considering the top notch actors like Aamir Khan, Salman Khan and even Govinda, it's now Abhishek Bachchan that they are keen to rope in. "The film will be directed by Sujit Sarkar," says Ram Mirchandani, COO UTV Rampage Motion Pictures. "As a production house we are always excited about all our projects but this film is based on a legend called Kishore, so it's super special," discloses the official.

"As a subject, Kishore Kumar's life is very colorful. His love life, his career, his music, his marriages and above all his eccentricities, he was a complete entertainer," says Mirchandani. It is believed that the legend would lock up filmmakers in his room and inside cupboards. That was his way of playing pranks. Mirchandani feels that barring the physical appearance, Abhishek fits the bill. "A good comic timing and an interesting personality, Abhishek is the apt choice." Wonder what junior Bachchan has to say about this.
