ZEE5 released the trailer yesterday of the much-anticipated spin-off film, ‘Bob Biswas’ and revealed more than a look of lead actor Abhishek Bachchan who plays the unlikely but deadly contract killer in the film. Starring Abhishek Bachchan and Chitrangda Singh in lead roles, the film is crime-drama set against the backdrop of a lovestory and showcases the dual life led by contract killer, Bob Biswas.
 
The film has been generating a lot of excitement among industry folks and fans since it is a spin-off of a popular character from Sujoy Ghosh’s 2012 cult mystery thriller film, Kahani. And ever since Abhishek Bachchan has stepped into the shoes, people cannot wait to see his version of the character. Even he dropped the motion poster, it received love from many, including Abhishek’s sister Shweta Bachchan and niece, Navya Naveli Nanda. Shweta dropped hands raised emojis while Navya wrote “Wooooooo” in the comments section. Abhishek’s Manmarziyaan co-star Vicky Kaushal also cheered him on. “Go AB!” he wrote, along with a fire emoji. Director Zoya Akhtar wrote, “I really want to watch this.” And actor Suniel Shetty wrote, “So proud of you my AB baby @bachchan!! Wishing you great success as #BobBiswas from the bottom of my heart!”.
 
Now with the trailer being dropped yesterday, internet has been buzzing with support and love coming Abhishek’s way for his deadly killer act. Starting with Amitabh Bachchan who reposted the trailer and commented, “I am proud to say you are my son!” to Shilpa Shetty who commented, “All the best @bachchan this is looking so good. Can’t wait to see it!”, the industry is praising Abhishek for his earnest portrayal of the iconic character.
 
The trailer encapsulates the journey of Bob Biswas, a middle-aged hitman-for-hire who comes out of a prolonged coma not being able to remember any details about his life and his past including his own family. As he tries to remember his identity, episodes from his past come alive, putting him in a moral dilemma between the history of his own deeds versus his newly developed sense of right and wrong.

The film is a Bound Script production presented by Red Chillies Entertainment. The film is set to premiere on ZEE5 on 3rd December and will be available in over 190 countries.
