Fri, May 2 04:12 PM
Dhaka, May 2 (PTI) Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan and his celebrity family have agreed to act in a film based on the life of Bangladesh's founding leader Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, media reports said here today. The reports, quoting a New York-based Bangladeshi news agency, said 65-year-old Bachchan has agreed to play the lead role of Mujib in the film "The Poet of Politics" named after the title given to the Bangladeshi leader by the Time Magazine in early 1970s in its cover story.
The agency said Big B's son Abhishek will act in the role of a young Mujib while his daughter-in-law and former Miss Universe Aishwarya Rai and renowned actress Shabana Azmi are also assigned key roles in the film. According to reports, veteran Indian film director Shyam Benegal will direct the movie, which will be made in English and subsequently dubbed into Bengali, Hindi and other languages.
The Eastern News Agency (ENA) report said Bachchan recently gave his nod to the producer, expatriate Bangladeshi journalist Abdul Gaffar Chowdhury , who was long been trying to cast the megastar for the Taka 20 crore (over Rs 11 crore) budget film. "I could not imagine no one other than him (Bachchan) to project a person of the magnitude of Bangabandhu (Sheikh Mujib).
After getting the consent of Amitabh, I am now a relieved man," ENA quoted Chowdhury as saying in New York. PTI. Source  |

Last time I heard, when big B was confronted to validify this rumour, he declined having any involvement of him or his family with this movie...... |
