If you’ve seen Sujoy Ghosh’s ‘Kahaani’ starring Vidya Balan, you probably remember the contract killer Bob Biswas from the movie. Now, an entire film is being made on the character played by the talented Saswata Chatterjee but with actor Abhishek Bachchan in the lead role.
The first look of the movie helmed by Sujoy Ghosh’s daughter Diya Annapurna Ghosh is out and here are the pictures.

This character intrigued me in Kahaani itself. Now getting a full fledged movie is exciting af. High hopes. 🤞🤟 #BobBiswas https://t.co/c2dwE4CMLu

However, some fans reiterated that no one could play the character as well as Saswata did in the original.
As much as I like Abhishek Bachchan these days but no there can be ONLY ONE BOB BISWAS and thats SASWATA CHATTERJEE https://t.co/Xsz7lkgSAf

Although Abhishek is a talented actor. But comparing him to what Shashwata Chatterjee did in Kahaani 🙏
Really really reallyyy tough!

He is good but Saswata Chatterjee would have been perfect.

That’s hilarious – Abhishek as Saswata? 😀 Abhishek, try Feluda.
