Friends Forever-Abhishek Bachchan & Goldie Behl

It may have been two children plotting their destiny, but what happens when that dream comes true. That’s the story of Drona , told by Goldie Behl and enacted by Abhishek Bachchan. 

Jaya Bachchan, a witness to the incident that spurred the two 5 year olds to hatch their own story, went into flashback to reveal the tale, “It was on the sets of Pukar in Goa, when Amit ji was shooting with Prem Chopra when the two, that is Goldie and Abhi were thrown out of the sets.” Abhishek quickly butted in, “We two were practicing with the swords that Pa and Prem uncle were using for the film, when some production guy saw us. We were thrown out of the sets.” 

Smiling at the memory, Jaya Bachchan continued, “We were staying at the Taj village. That evening after they were unceremoniously ushered out of the sets, the two sat in the swimming pool and planned to make a film where they could play with swords. I still remember that there was this little island in the middle of the pool and the two, nursing their bruised egos came up with this plan. ” 

Abhishek added, “I never really thought much about it, but Goldie obviously did. It was on the sets of Guru that Goldie came to me with a fully bound script and narrated the film to me. There was no going back thereafter.” 

But the actor salutes Goldie’s elder sister with all the credit, “Hats off to Shristi, for she actually allowed Goldie to go ahead with the film. And here we are 24 years after we hatched our plan to make a film where we could play with swords, that we actually did. It was no kid’s play. We had to work very hard to get the magical adventure genre correct and make it look plausible.” 

Priyanka Chopra who plays the female lead in the film later remarked, “Its like the Lord of the Rings . There is no period or era required to base such a film on and Drona is that.” 

Those who dare to dream, win. Abhishek Bachchan and Goldie Behl dared to dream and the dream is now a reality which the audience can see on the 2nd of October, when Drona releases.
