Actor Abhishek Bachchan said he would love to be part of the proposed sequel to the hit song 'Kajra Re', provided his father Amitabh Bachchan and mother Aishwarya Rai Bachchan also join the project.
The popular song "Kajra Re" from the 2008 film *Bunty Aur Babli* has seen a resurgence in popularity, prompting discussions of a sequel. Actor Abhishek Bachchan recently revealed that he would love to be involved in a new version, "Kajra Re 2.0", but only if his father, legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan, and his mother, former Miss World Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, are also part of the project.
Bachchan’s comment came during an interview where he highlighted the iconic status of the original track and expressed enthusiasm for a fresh take that could bring the family together on screen. He emphasized that the presence of both parents would make the project special and potentially attract a wide audience.
Industry observers note that a family‑centric project could generate significant buzz, especially given the Bachchan family’s longstanding influence in Bollywood. While no formal production plans have been announced, the idea has already sparked speculation among fans and media alike.
If the sequel moves forward, it could become a major event in the film calendar, blending nostalgia with contemporary music trends. The potential collaboration of the Bachchan family would also underscore the enduring appeal of legacy actors in modern cinema.
