Vicky Donor' famed helmer turns lucky! Director Shoojit Sircar has got the wonderful opportunity to direct the Shahenshah' of Bollywood, the megastar Amitabh Bachchan.
Buzz is that the veteran actor has been roped in by the brand Xoom, for which Sircar directed an ad film. Although they are yet to shoot a feature film, it can be noted that most of the superstar's ad films are shot by Sircar. Interestingly while shooting for the commercial, they both used to talk in Bengali on the sets.
On the other hand, the Xoom's ad film is about the speed of technology for money transfers; especially it will be helpful for senior citizens whose children stay far off places. Big B, a geek when it comes to anything electronic, revealed that he loves technology and for his personal shoots, always has the latest lens and camera. In a making vide, the actor who found the going tough in the beginning of his career, turned nostalgic in recalling the days when he had the need to earn money to send to his parents.
Meanwhile, Sircar and Big B will be soon working on 'Piku' also starring Deepika Padukone, Irrfan Khan and Moushmi Chatterjee.
