Amitabh Bachchan To Do An Autobiographical Film

Big B Amitabh Bachchan is all set to play a superstar named Ashmit Bhargava in Kushan Nandy’s “The Actor”, which incorporates many incidents from the Big B’s life, making it his most autobiographical film till date.

“Yes, I wrote ‘The Actor’ for Mr. Bachchan, along with two writer-friends Kiran Shyam Shroff and Ghalib Asad,” Kushan told. Confirming the news, Amitabh said: “Yes, I’m doing a film for Pritish Nandy (Kushan’s father). The details you’ll have to get from him.”

The rest of the cast is now being finalised. “But getting the principal part right was imperative,” said Nandy. “I don’t think anyone else could’ve played Ashmit Bhargava the way Kushan wrote the character. The protagonist has to be an icon who’s about 55-60 years old, portraying what’s according to the script the greatest actor playing the biggest role of his life.”

So are the identical initials of the superstar in “The Actor” and the one playing the role more than a mere coincidence?

“I think so,” laughed Nandy. “I think the initials for Amitabh Bachchan and Ashmit Bhargava say it all.” Source
