Bob Biswas is being produced by Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan and his wife Gauri Khan under Red Chillies. Also collaborating with them would be Sujoy Ghosh, the creator of the franchise, reports Mid-Day.

Abhishek Bachchan may cast in the film as leading role.

Red Chillies took to their Twitter account to announce the news.

In 2012, Sujoy Ghosh made a fantastic suspense drama titled Kahaani, which was powered by Vidya Balan’s piercing performance.

Four years later, he made Kahaani 2, which dealt with a far more chilling theme of child abuse.

And talking about the one factor that unites the two films, it was a scary yet fascinating character of a detective out to hunt down the protagonist.

Bob Biswas, played memorably by Saswata Chatterjee, and that character is all set to get a film on his name.

Bachchan is now on a spree as he has as many as three films lined-up for 2020. The first one would be with Anurag Basu, an untitled film based on the same lines as Life In A… Metro, followed by The Big Bull and now Bob Biswas. Khan, on the other hand, is rumoured to star in Atlee Kumar and Rajkumar Hirani’s next.
