After Sarkar Raj, Drona is Abhishek Bachchan second movie in 2008. In this movie, Abhishek Bachchan played the role of a Prince. In an interview with masala.com, Abhishek Bachchan talks about Drona.

Interestingly, Abhishek Bachchan and Goldie Behl planned to make Drona two decades ago. The shooting started in December 2006 and completed in 2007. However, there were many computer effects which took nine months to be completed followed by post-production works. As a result, Drona took a long time to make. Finally, the movie is ready to release.

Interestingly, both Abhishek Bachchan and Goldie Behl wanted make a movie like Drona since they were children. During their childhood, Abhishek Bachchan and Goldie Behl went to Goa. Amitabh Bachchan was shooting for Pukaar. The movie was directed by Goldie Behl’s father. They were staying in a hotel. One day, the two went on the set. There were some swords lying near the set and they picked them up and started to play with them and they broke them. As for their punishment, they were sent to hotel. At that time, they decided that when they would grow up and make a movie that would involve sword fight and they would throw others off the sets.

Regarding the music of Drona, Abhishek Bachchan said:

I don’t think I can choose one or two out of the whole album because I am very close to this film. Like a mother watches her kid grow up, I have seen the film come alive. Right from its conception to its story, screenplay and even the music, I was a part of it every inch of the way.

The music suits the story and the screenplay perfectly. It’s a new sound and the credit goes fully to music director Dhruv Ghanekar and Goldie for coming up with something so wonderful and versatile.

Regarding his long hair, Abhishek Bachchan said that Goldie Behl told him to grow long hair and beard. Since he played the role of a king and a warrior, the long hair and beard would give him a rugged look.
