Some of that friendship was evident when the two happened to be filming on adjacent sets recently.
Amtiabh was filming for Vivek Sharma's Bhootnath, in which he plays a cameo as ghost, while Abhishek was filming for an ad.
During their respective breaks both of them would walk over to the other's set to talk and joke.
On one such occasion, when Amitabh was over at Abhishek's set, Vivek sent an assistant to summon Amitabh back. The assistant walked to Abhishek's sets and strode straight towards Amitabh without realizing the cameras were rolling. He cut straight through the view of the camera forcing a retake.
Abhishek jokingly swore revenge promising to ruin a shot on the sets of Bhootnath just as the assistant had ruined his shot.
Later, he not only lived up to his promise but added a hilarious twist to it. He strode on to the sets of Bhootnath wearing Amitabh's costumes, grabbed a script and started to recite Amitabh's dialogs asking the cameras to roll!
He had the entire crew in splits of laughter. The quick witted Amitabh turned to Vivek and said, 'Oh, You have got a new actor in my place, I should take your leave now.'
Bhootnath additionally stars Shahrukh Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Juhi Chawla and Shaan Diya.
