Two days after Abhishek Bachchan got a brand new Bentley from dad Amitabh Bachchan on his birthday, the Big B got a sparking silver Rolls Royce, gifted to him by his Eklavya director Vidhu Vinod Chopra.

Chopra, along with his mother, presented the car to Amitabh as a token of appreciation for his work in Eklavya. According to Chopra, this is Amitabh's best performance till date.

Apparently, throughout the shooting of Eklavya, Amitabh insisted on giving Chopra a car because the director claimed to still travel in autorickshaws.

But Chopra decided to gift Amitabh a car before the actor could.

The Big B plays a royal guard in this multi-starrer featuring Sanjay Dutt, Saif Ali Khan, Vidya Balan, Boman Irani, Jackie Shroff, Jimmy Shergil and Raima Sen.

This is an exclusive video featuring Amitabh, Chopra and his mother.
