/> Director Shojeet Sircar who's currently shooting his Amitabh Bachchan-Sareeka marital drama in Simla, has a problem.

He needs two actors to play his protagonists at the age of 24-25, just like Smriti Mishra who had played Kirron Kher's younger avatar in Sardari Beghum in in Shyam Benegal's film.

The problem is, who can match the two actors physically and in terms of talent?

How about Abhishek Bachchan and Sareeka's daughter Shruti who's all set to make her debut as an actress?

Divulges Sircar, "I did ask Abhishek to do the role. But he didn't feel the time was right to fit into his father's shoes.

Even as I shoot with Amitji, we're auditioning young men who have his looks and at least some acting talent. As Sareekaji,we've more or less found a young actress to play her younger role."

Apparently when Renzil d'Silva of Rang De Basanti wrote the screenplay he had envisaged Abhishek as the Senior Bachchan's junior avatar.
