With the partnership between Amitabh Bachchan and Ram Gopal Verma (RGV) in tatters after the debacle of AAG, plans have now been put in motion to revive the marraige, by bringing in the aid of a Khan.
Industry insiders have revealed that Ram Gopal Verma has been in contact with Abhishek Bachchan who has persuaded his father to change his mind and work with RGV once again. Amitabh was very upset with the final product that was supposed to be the Sholay remake. The film has proven to be the biggest disaster this decade. RGV has promised Abhishek that if he manages to bring his father around, then RGV will make the next flick a world-wide smash hit. And he will do this by bringing in either Saif Ali Khan or Salman Khan for a substantial role.
Amitabh listened to the idea, pondered over it for a few hours, and then agreed. The film is titled Cobra and is rumoured to be about the Indian Secret Service Agency. Apart from either Saif or Salman, the film will have both Amitabh and Abhishek in pivotal roles.
According to reliable sources, “Amitabh Bachchan was always very sceptical about Aag and throughout the making of the film he was unsure of his role in the film. Amitabh’s worst fear came true when the film was rejected outright by the critics as well as the audience. But both have decided to put the controversy behind and move on. Both Ramu and Bachchan have decided to go ahead and announce another film together. And quickly. The film has been titled Cobra and will also star Abhishek Bachchan who apparently loved Ramu’s version of Sholay.”
Adds our source, “Although Big B has given dates to Ramu in January, don’t be surprised it the two announce the film immediately and start shooting by next month. By announcing Cobra, they are planning to refute the rumours that Bachchan is unhappy with Aag. Cobra will also have one of the leading Khans playing a vital role. The name is yet to be finalised.”

Neither Mr Bachchan nor I have heard of Cobra” – RGV
By Subhash K. Jha, September 4, 2007 – 12:24 IST
A story this morning informs Amitabh Bachchan and director Ram Gopal Varma that they’re collaborating on a film called –hold your breath—Cobra.
Before we all begin to hiss hysterically, here’s the catch. Neither of the two parties supposedly involved in the project have ever heard of any film called Cobra. Nor are they planning to work on any film by that title.
Ramu who has taken the debacle of Aag on his chin is amused. “I don’t have any film called Cobra with Mr Bachchan and Abhishek in mind. I hate snakes, except when Sridevi plays one in Nagin. Both the Bachchans have completed their work fully on Sarkar 2. I haven’t even registered the title Cobra, so I don’t see where the confusion comes from.”
The Bachchan’s next collaborative effort will be Time Machine. “Some time next year. That requires a lot of planning. After AagI need to watch my steps,” Ramu jokes.
Mr. Bachchan also denies any knowledge of any project called Cobra. “I guess the papers sometimes know things about my projects that neither me nor my director are aware of.”
Bachchans no need to take help from khans this is all rubbish and the movi cobra announced before the realse of AAG i think u people got it
COBRA SEEMS TO BE A DIFFERENT TASTE AND FLAVOUR. RGV AND BIG B’S STARS ARE NOT GOOD. AAG IS GONE WITH THE WIND AND THE COMING ONE WILL BE ANOTHER DISASTROUS. THESE OLD PEOPLE NEED TO BE RETIRED OR THROWN OUT OF THE INDUSTRY= FRESH BLOOD HAS MORE VALUE – OLD BLOOD HAS TOO MUCH BACTERIA.
no khan will come to their rescue.bollywood is headed by the khan trio.amitabh is still here because of respect for his age by the khans.who will take the bachchans except RGV or manirathnam?.time amitabh retire and abhi stay at home as househusband while ash work for them by doing south movies opposite aged heroes and doing miniscule roles in hollywood.
