  • IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,February 27 2013]

After doing a short film, Amitabh Bachchan and Anurag Kashyap have now decided to work together on a full-length feature film. Last month, Bachchan posted on his blog: ...later in the year to start a complete film, which he (Anurag) has narrated to me, and which sounds innovative and exciting....

The film is a thriller with an ensemble cast, and Bachchan in the lead. It will go on the floors early next year. Bachchan is all praise for Anurag as he says, I am delighted to be working with Anurag, a director, who has through his rugged belief in his kind of cinema compelled us to fall in line with him. I have a general concept of the story and anxiously wait for him to begin shooting.

An excited Anurag added, I’m thrilled. Like everyone, I have also been a fan of Mr Bachchan from my growing-up years. Though I wanted to make a film with him for the longest time, I wanted to be sure that the role is something he has never done before. While working on the short film with him, I got this idea, which we discussed and he agreed.

The yet-to-be-titled film will be produced by Phantom Films
