Amitabh Bachchan is a detective in Ashutosh Gowariker’s next
Ashutosh Gowariker is on cloud nine these days. Having directed Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in his ambitious project Jodhaa Akbar and Abhishek Bachchan in Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey, the versatile director has now roped in the patriarch of the Bachchan family, Big B himself! The Lagaan director is quite happy to have Amitabh Bachchan working in his next untitled film which is touted to be a big thriller. If reports are to be believed Amitabh will be playing a high-profile detective in this film. It’s a story revolving around two detectives unravelling a dark mystery, but Ashutosh is unsure about casting the second detective as he is doubtful anyone can match Amitabh’s acting skills and on-screen charisma. Well, Ashutosh can approach a certain Nana Patekar, wethinks! Remember the crackling chemistry the duo had produced in Mehul Kumar’s Kohram?

Thanks to Shahrukh Khan there has been a RA.One overload and yet his fans can’t get enough. But there is another Ravana who is already part of the Indian ethos. With Dussehra celebrations going on all over the world, the mythic Bad Man is in centre focus.

After all, if someone chopped off your beloved sister’s nose (remember the Surpanakha story?), wouldn’t you want revenge? There are many characters like this in Bollywood movies – very normal men with a dark streak that is displayed in unfortunate albeit very commercially popular ways. Click here to read more
