Amitabh Bachchan is going to give company to ace film maker Priyadarshan in his endeavor to make a thriller.

This is for the first time that the director who is popular for his out and out comical flicks is trying his capabilities to make a nerve wracking horror movie.

Big B will be giving life to a role hugely inspired by Jim Corbett, the late conservationist and slayer of man eating tigers.

Tigers will be an integral part of the storyline of the film titled as ‘Grrrr’ which will unravel at the famous forests of Sunderbans.

Priyadarshan has told that as using real tigers is not practical, animatronics (using of mechanical animals) will be tried out a big way to produce the desired effects.

He also added that other than Amitabh Bachchan no one can do justice to the role of the iconic foreigner who was a colonel in the British Army.

Jim Corbett born on 1875 born in India has killed as many as 19 Tigers and 14 Leopards, all feared man eaters.

The Corbett National Park in Kumaon is named in the honour of this great man who always spoke for the need to conserve India’s rich wildlife.
