Mumbai Crime Branch on Monday arrested a youth (an Abhishek Bachchan impersonator) for sending threatening SMSs to Amitabh Bachchan.


Devi Singh Rajpurohit, 25, was arrested from Rajasthan as he was threatening Big B by his messages and demanding a sum of Rs 25 crores as well as a role in a Bollywood movie.

According to reports, Rajpurohit, in his SMS to Bachchan, had exclaimed that Big B had only three days to live if he failed to pay him the money in question.

Rajpurohit has apparently told the police that he had done some scenes as a body double for Abhishek in his much anticipated film 'Drona'. It is believed that Devi was desperate to get a role in a Bollywood production and had thought that Bachchan would be of some help, but when there was no rejoinder, he decided to threaten Bachchan through SMSs.

The accused was arrested since his mobile number was tracked by the police. He will be produced in the court on Tuesday.
