The latest buzz is thst Bollywood’s Superstar Amitabh Bachchan will be playing the role of a Pakistani citizen in his next movie. The movie will be the directorial debut of Oscar winning sound designer Resul Pookutty.
Resul, along with Richard Pryke and Ian Tapp won the Academy Award for Best Sound Mixing for the film Slumdog Millionaire. He has worked in Hollywood, Hindi, Tamil and Malayalam films. He provided sound to 2008’s blockbuster Ghajini.
Resul always wanted to get into direction and wished to cast Big B in his first movie. It was his old classmate Amitabh Singh who approached him with a script for a movie. It is said that the script’s subject touched Resul so much that he immediately decided to direct it with Mr. Bachchan in it.
Resul said, “I have approached Mr Bachchan for the film that I want to direct. The character is from another country. But it is not a political film. It’s an extremely humane subject that touches the lives of people on both sides of the border.”
According to the sources the film doesn’t talk about the two countries’ issues with each other but is about the sensitive topic of father –son relationship.
Meanwhile Big B is busy with Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 7.
