Amitabh Bachchan is all set to play the well-known football coach Vijay Barse, who helped hundreds of lesser-privileged kids to reach their goals in Nagraj Manjule’s Jhund. Though the actor won’t be required to play football on screen, he does need to be clued into the game’s nitty-gritty. And who’s better equipped to give the actor some vital tips on football than his son Abhishek Bachchan? A diehard fan and a passionate player of the game, Abhishek will clue in his Pa on the high-points of football. Says a source, “Bachchan saab has played football when he worked in Kolkata as a young man, but that was many years ago. Abhishek is very much into the game. Bachchan saab can’t get a better sports coach than his son.”
