After the riveting success of the satirical 'OMG - Oh My God', Umesh Shukla will direct his next for T-Series head honcho Bhushan Kumar. Abhishek Bachchan has been roped in for the film, that goes on floors later this year.

Making their first collaboration even more special, producer Bhushan Kumar gifted the script to the star on his birthday.

Says Bhushan Kumar, "We are happy to announce Abhishek Bachchan as the lead of our ambitious next directed by Umesh Shukla and what better day than his birthday to make the announcement . They've both had a good year, Abhishek with Bol Bachchan and Umesh with OMG. My co-producers and I agreed that Abhishek fits the role. We didn't even think of anyone else."
 
While Abhishek Bachchan has been confirmed as the lead in the film that talks about the equation between a father and son, details about the rest of the starcast are being kept under tight wraps.

Adds producer Varun Bajaj, "After 'Oh! My God' we wanted to do a social comedy with Umeshji. This film is based on a father and son relationship. The film is funny as well as emotional. It gives out a message in the end."
