"I wanted to remove every bit of Amitabh Bachchan we know and wanted to build an absolutely new character," he said.
Talking about the make up Amitabh had to put on during the film Abhishek said: "It used to take four hours to put on the make-up and two hours to remove it."
Balki revealed that the script was written keeping Amitabh in mind.
"It's not that I wrote a script and then thought of casting Amitabh, rather I wrote it keeping him in mind," said Balki.
He said that Amitabh not only looks like a 13-year-old boy in the film but also changed his voice and mannerism to fit the role.
Abhishek has been in the film industry for a long time but "this is the first time I am working for my father's production house", he revealed.
"Paa" is releasing Nov 13.
