Big B to play Bhishma Pitamah

In : |





69-year-old star Amitabh Bachchan who is known for his deep baritone voice has lent it to the rock-solid iconic character of Bheeshma Pitamah in an upcoming animated film Mahabharat produced by Jayantilal Gada of PEN India and directed by Rajkumar Santoshi.

Producer Jayantilal Gada said, "Amitabh Bachchan has lent his voice to the role of Bheeshma Pitamah in our animated film Mahabharat. He finished the entire recording in one hour, which was very shocking for us. He has such a command over the language that he even corrected minor grammatical mistakes in the dialogues." 

Jayantilal Gada couldn't stop talking about Amitabh Bachchan's simplicity and generous nature, he added, "He did not charge us for his work. Our entire team is grateful to him. We could not have done the film without him as we can't imagine any other voice for the role of Bheeshma Pitamah.”

The characters from the epic will have voices and looks of 15 Bollywood stars. Apart from Amitabh Bachchan the 150 crore animated movie Mahabharat will have Sunny Deol as ‘Bheem’ and Arjun Rampal as ‘Arjun’, while Sanjay Dutt will play the role of ‘Duryodhan’. The director has also signed Ajay Devgan for the role of ‘Lord Krishna’. It is even said that Aishwarya Rai will enact the role of ‘Draupadi’. 

The animated film Mahabharat will be made in two parts simultaneously and will be released in two separate versions of two and half hours each, because the duration of the film will exceed 5 hours. Even though both would be ready at the same time, the second part will be released at least after a 6-months gap. The movie is expected to release in October.
