Abhishek lends voice for Riteish
Abhishek Bachchan and Riteish Deshmukh reunited in Sajid-Farhad’s Housefull 3 eleven years after they first came together for Rohan Sippy’s Bluffmaster. Now, AB junior has taken his friendship with Riteish a step ahead by lending his voice to a soon-tobe-released teaser of his upcoming film Banjo, directed by National award-winning filmmaker, Ravi Jadhav.

“There is a voiceover in the teaser which goes, ‘Yeh Banjo ki duniya ka Bachchan hai’, referring to Riteish’s character. There couldn’t have been anyone better than Abhishek to do it. We recorded on Monday within an hour. It was great fun,” says Ravi who makes his Bollywood debut with the Eros film.

“Abhishek has a great voice and I am a huge fan of his work. He is mischievous in a fun way and down to earth as well. I was very comfortable working with him,” asserts Ravi, adding that the 40-year-old actor had loved his Marathi film, Natarang.

Meanwhile, Riteish who plays a banjo player in the film learnt how to play the instrument. “Both he and Nargis have worked extremely hard on the film and it shows. Abhishek loved the teaser too and immediately called Riteish from the recording studio to compliment him on his role and look,” Ravi reveals.
