Amitabh Bachchan has started shooting again, and BR Films' Baabul is eagerly resuming work.

Baabul -- from the makers of Baghban -- is being promoted as a socially relevant family saga, and director Ravi Chopra is targeting a Diwali release.

Baabul stars Bachchan, Hema Malini, Rani Mukerji, Salman Khan, John Abraham and Om Puri.

The shooting is expected to be completed by July.
