It so happened that Abhishek Bachchan was shooting for Paa in the compound of the studio that Rann was also being shot in. As soon as AB Jr. got a break from the shoot, he rushed over to the sets of Rann to take a quick look at his Pa's progress and watch the film on the monitor.
He even mingled with Varma on the sets and discussed the film at length. A source on the sets confirmed that Abhishek walked away rather impressed with the gritty and hard-hitting look of Rann.
