The year has begun with a bang at B4U with the network buying global exclusive screening rights to three blockbusters - "Guru", "Umrao Jaan" and the yet to be released
"Nishabd".
The company is particularly happy about "Guru" and "Umrao Jaan" with the buzz about its leading pair, the recently engaged Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya
Rai.
Besides, Abhishek's superlative performance in Mani Ratnam's "Guru" has won him accolades from his critics while Aishwarya is said to have given one of her best
performances in J.P. Dutta's "Umrao Jaan".
"Nishabd" draws on Vladmir Nakabov's novel "Lolita" about a 60-year-old man's romance with an 18-year-old girl and stars Amitabh Bachchan and Jiah Khan.
