Rohit Roy will play the character of Amitabh Bachchan in the remake of the classic Abhimaan. Abhimaan is best remembered by the exemplary performances put in by Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan at that time. The song Teri bindiya re is still an all time favorite. The movie has been titled Pa Ma Ga Re Sa and is being made in Bengali. This will be the first time that Rohit is doing a movie in Bengali. Gauri Karnik who was last seen in Sur will play the female lead.

Rohit is having three other movies releasing this year in the form of Mittal vs Mittal, Apartment and Alibaug. In the three movies, he portrays three entirely different characters. In Mittal vs Mittal, he plays an abusive husband whereas in Alibaug he plays a doctor who is cheating on his wife. In the movie Apartment, he plays the person next door. He is happy playing different characters and has no qualms about it.

He has also expressed his directorial ambitions. He wants to remake Basu Chatterjee’s classic Shaukeen in which three old men head off to Goa for an adventure. The movie starred Ashok Kumar, Utpal Dutt and A.K. Hangal. He plans to rope in Rishi Kapoor, Naseeruddin Shah and Boman Irani for the three men. He plans to give the modern feel and is even thinking of shooting the movie in Las Vegas.

The actor is currently busy hosting the third season of the reality show Jhalak Dikhla Jaa. Accompanying him as the host is beautiful Shweta Tiwari. He was the host for the second season also. After this, he will resume the shoot of his movie.
