New Delhi, Nov 29 (IANS) Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan and Tamil superstar Surya will tug it off at the box office this Friday with their outings 'Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey' and 'Rakta Charitra - Part II'. And vying for eyeballs with them will be 'Phas Gaye Re Obama' about the after effects of global meltdown.
With Abhishek starrer 'Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey', director Ashutosh Gowariker will introduce audiences to the long forgotten Chittagong uprising.
'There was a revolution that we don't know anything about... it was a revolution of such vastness and magnitude involving not one person but 64 revolutionaries led by Surjya Sen', Gowariker told IANS.
The period drama that will see Abhishek as the freedom fighter Sen has been co-produced by Gowariker's wife along with Ajay Bijli and Sanjeev Bijli of PVR Pictures.
Sen, a school teacher, carried out the Chittagong armoury raid in 1930 in British India. Based on Manini Chatterjee's book 'Do And Die', the film throws light on the 64 revolutionaries out of which 56 were youngsters, mostly of 13-14 years of age.
