Drona - This mega movie, packed with action and dangerous stunts is the focus of the Bachchans now.

The Bachchans are investing a huge amount on this Abhishek starrer. Abhishek will play a super hero in the movie. Drona will project him in a very stylish image, slim and tall, with long hair – which is the reason you see him sporting a hair band of late.

He did not mean it as a fashion statement, but since he is looking the cool dude with it, you never know, he may have unwittingly started a trend.

The first schedule for the movie has been shot in Prague. The director- Goldie Bhel and producer Shristi are family friends of the Bachchans.

The budget for the movie is a whopping 60 crores. (Krrish was made on a budget of 45 crores).

Priyanka Chopra will be playing the romantic lead and Jaya Bachchan will play the role of Abhishek’s mother. Rumors are rife about the movie - that it is going to better Krrish in all aspects. Why bother when Krrish has already done whatever it set out to do?

Shruti Singh a lawyer in the Patna High Court has filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) against Aishwarya Rai.

Aishwarya is a Manglik (Ruled by Mars) and this according to Hindu astrologers is not auspicious to her marriage to Abhishek Bachchan who is a non-Manglik. To overcome the negative effect of this, Aishwarya was married to a Peepal tree in Benaras and a Banana tree at a temple in Bangalore. Then she was married to an idol in a temple in Ayodhya.

According to Shruti such practices come under the Untouchability Act as in Article 17. It also violates fundamental rights. She says that the rituals performed by Aishwarya under the guidance and consent of the Bachchan family promotes superstition and blind faith among the common people

Shruti is a Woman’s Rights Activist. She has requested the court to issue a directive to stop the practice of Manglik girls first marrying a tree, an idol or an animal.

She demanded a public apology from the Bachchan family and also said that an FIR should be filed against Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan and Samajwadi Party leader, Amar Singh.
