If you have ever seen Vidya Balan's thriller Kahaani, then you will surely remember the character of Bob Biswas. While he may not be well remembered by his name, the character of Bob Biswas was one of the highlights of the film. He was the ruthless assassin in the guise of an ordinary salesman and was the most threatening adversary that Vidya's character had to overcome as no one could predict that he was a wolf in sheep's clothing. It has now been announced that Bob Biswas will be getting his own film that will star Abhishek Bachchan in the lead role.

Shah Rukh Khan will be the producer for the film and will also be playing a prominent role in it. Here is the tweet made by Shah Rukh Khan today on November 25, 2019.

Bob Biswas is most likely to be a prequel to Kahaani and will show audiences how Saswata Chatterjee's character became the deadly assassin that he is known to be. Whether Vidya Balan's character will be featured in the film is still unknown. The movie is also reported to star Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Parambrata Chatterjee in important roles.
