Abhishek and Bipasha’s Italian Job remake in New Zealand!

Bollywood actors Abhishek Bachchan and Bipasha Basu Wednesday met New Zealand Prime Minister John Philip Key here.

The meeting took place on the sets of their upcoming movie 'Players' at Filmcity.

Key was presented a Ganesha idol holding a handicam by directors Abbas-Mustan to symbolize Bollywood's association with New Zealand.

In return, the prime minister gave to the directors a beautifully framed print from the film 'King Kong', signed by Richard Taylor, co-producer of 'Lord of the Rings'.

'Namaste! I'd like to thank Viacom18, Abbas and Mustan, Abhishek Bachchan and Bipasha Basu for making their wonderful movie 'Players' in New Zealand,' Key told.

'I did manage to see a couple of pictures from the filming down in Wellington and Auckland.

'New Zealand is a great place to make movies and is very popular with the Bollywood industry. We've already had 150 Bollywood movies made in New Zealand.'

'Players' is official remakes of Hollywood film 'The Italian Job'.
