On November 26 Shah Rukh Khan left all his fans with the announcement on the upcoming project, Bob Biswas. While many were waiting to see him in a film, Bob Biswas will not feature him as the lead actor but Abhishek Bachchan. SRK would be co-producing the project through Red Chillies Entertainment with director Sujoy Ghosh’s Bound Script Production. While many were happy to know that a film is being made on the cold-blooded contract killer, few were upset over not casting Saswata Chatterjee, the Bengali actor who originally played Bob Biswas in Kahaani.
