Although Amitabh Bachchan and director Shoojit Sircar have worked together in a number of ad films, the superstar is keen to act in Sircar’s second feature film.
Last year, Sircar made his directorial debut with the critically acclaimed film Yahaan that starred Jimmy Shergill and Minissha Lamba . Now, the filmmaker is ready to start his second project with none other than Amitabh Bachchan in the lead role.
The film is titled Johnny Walker . It traces the life of a man from adolescence to sixty years of age. It also delves on the story of old couple who rediscover love in the sunset of their lives.
The Big B lavishes praises on Sircar, saying he liked his work in ‘Yahaan’ and is looking forward to work with him in ‘Johnny Walker’.
Speaking about ‘Yahaan’, Bachchan says: “It’s an extremely well-made film, mature in concept and execution.”
As of now, Bachchan has completed the shooting of Cheeni Kum with Tabu and has moved on to shoot a song for Shaad Ali’s film Jhoom Barabar Jhoom .
