(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) AMITABH BACHCHAN SAYS he calls his son Abhishek 'Veeru', of the iconic Jai-Veeru pair from blockbuster Sholay which celebrated its fortieth anniversary yesterday.
When asked who is his real life 'Veeru', which was played by Dharmendra on screen, Bachchan said it is his son Abhishek, who is also his 'friend'.
Bachchan said he also shares a good rapport with on-screen 'Veeru', Dharmendra.
"Whenever we meet we share a good, warm relationship," he said.
