Abhishek Gives Sex Talk

From what we hear, Abhishek Bachchan is quite a prankster on the sets. It seems, recently he was shooting for Ram Gopal Varma’s ‘Sarkar Raj’ along with the rest of the unit at Anjanpur, a village in Hyderabad. The scene required Abhishek to lecture the villagers about a serious issue. Varma told him to ad lib as the actual dialogues would be taken care of while dubbing the particular scene. Besides, the maker had clearly instructed the villagers to look serious while listening to Abhishek. However, the moment, the clapper board was sounded and Varma said 'Action', junior B started lecturing on sex to the villagers, much to the embarrassment of those present around. He not only went into the biological details but also went on to explain the entire process to the bewildered villagers. When the rural folk realized what was happening they tried hard not to laugh as they didn’t want to incur Varma’s wrath. But they couldn’t hold back their laughter for long and they all burst into peals of laughter.

It is learnt a part of Aishwarya’s role in Ram Gopal Varma’s much awaited film ‘Sarkar Raj’ has been chopped as the film was running too long. Besides, the maker felt that Ash’s character as the CEO of an international firm was taking away attention from the main plot.

Unlike any other actor, who would have raved and ranted over this new development, the ex-beauty queen has taken it very sportingly. And why wouldn’t she? After all, the film’s main cast includes members of her family -- husband Abhishek Bachchan and father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan.
