Believe it or not, Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan will soon live his dream. Big B, who is one of the biggest fans of legendary actor Dilip Kumar, is gearing up to play the latter in Pritish Nandy’s upcoming venture ‘The Actor’. Not just that, buzz has it that none other than Lara Dutta will be seen playing his wife (Saira Banu) in the movie.
According to the latest news, in the flick, Big B will be playing a film star married to a much younger woman. Since Lara is about 35 years younger than Amitabh, grapevine has it that the two have been finalised for the same.
However, Nandy reportedly claims that there’s a unique twist to the trend of generation-challenged relationships. “The age factor is no consequence to the plot. They are just a happy couple,” he says.
Well, although this is not going to be the first time that Big B would be paired opposite a much-much-younger woman onscreen, but this one will surely be very special for him as Dilip Kumar has always been Bachchan’s ultimate role model.
Expectations are very high from Big B, as Dilip Kumar is one of those Titans of Bollywood who have transformed the Indian film industry from a theatrical stage to the engrossing screenplays of today. While Dilip made films realistic with his dynamic performances, Big B took it forward and perfected the form.
The role is enviable, only the Lara Dutta part makes one think - will Saira Bano be satisfied with the cast?
