Now that Junior Bachchan has recovered from the effects of the Coronaviru­s, he is back in action. He has signed up with two heroines, Yami Gautam and Nimrat Kaur for a film, which will be the debut of Tushar Jalota as a director. Tushar is ‘ Bhajan Samrat’ Anup Jalota’s nephew.

A source tells us that Tushar, who started his career as an actor and the hero of Mahesh Bhatt’s film Showbiz, has now decided to try his luck in the industry as a director. He previously worked as assistant director for various big directors including Sanjay Leela Bhansali. “He is an associate to Sanjay Leela Bhansali for films such as Padmaavat, Bajirao Mastani and Goliyon Ki Raasleela: Ram Leela. He last assisted on Judgementa­l Hai Kya. Now, Tushar will direct a film for Dinesh Vijan and has locked these three stars for the film,” says the source. Interestin­gly, Nimrat Kaur was seen four years ago in a film and that was Airlift with Akshay Kumar. She is slated to be seen yet again with Akshay Kumar, too, in the upcoming film Atrangi Re.

Yami, on the other hand, would reunite with Dinesh Vijan for the third time. She had first acted in Dinesh’s Badlapur

(2015) and then in Bala (2019), a film in which she stood out for her performanc­e. Abhishek Bachchan, who was last seen in the second season of Amazon’s Breathe: Into the Shadows, will soon be seen in Shah Rukh Khan’s Bob Biswas, Anurag Basu’s Ludo and the Kookie Gulati directoria­l The Big Bull, produced by Ajay Devgn.
