Remember an extravagant project titled as 'Taalismaan' that was announced last year.

It is unlikely that anyone who has seen the striking promo photographs of Amitabh Bachchan will forget the film.

He was seen with long flowing white hair, a shield covering half of his face and a warrior get up mounted on a white horse.

For all those people who are expecting the flick, there is good news.

The movie based on the famous Hindi novel Chandrakanta will be starting its shooting towards the end of this year.

The team behind 'Taalisman' is still stuck up in the pre production stage completing their research process to do maximum justice to the fantasy story.

It is also being said that a good part of the movie will be shot in the jungles of the Kingdom of Bhutan.

Other than Big B, the high budget film will also be having Aishwarya Rai, Sanjay Dutt and Abhishek Bachchan in lead roles.

While Aish will be seen as a princess, Sanjay will be giving life to a negative character.

'Taalismaan' to be produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra will be directed by Ram Madwani.

Ram debuted with a movie called 'Let's Talk' and has also made a documentary on Mr.Bachchan titled as 'Everlasting Light'.

The film will tell a gripping tale of friendship, love and a group of men who stop war through magic.
