After chic and cool in "Dostana", Abhishek Bachchan goes for a makeover in R. Balakrishnan's "Paa" -- the actor will be seen mostly in white kurta-pyjamas in 90 percent of the movie, in which he is playing a politician.
"It was a welcome change to not have so many different costumes. And most importantly it was the requirement of the film", said the actor.
To ensure that Abhishek's clothes look sparkling clean, the director had ordered 10 sets of kurta-pyjamas.
"Abhishek plays a young forward-thinking politician who follows in the footsteps of his father (played by Paresh Rawal)," said director R. Balakrishnan, fondly called Balki.
"Paa" is a sensitive story about the relationship between a father and son, who suffers from Progeria, which causes premature ageing.
The movie also stars Amitabh Bachchan and Vidya Balan in key roles.
