Megastar Amitabh Bachchan is slated to act in a fantasy flick, which will be something like ‘Lord Of The Rings’.
No, the film will not be a copy of the Oscar-winning movie by Peter Jackson, but it will be based on an original story idea. Vidhu Vinod Chopra is producing the film while his assistant Ram Madhvani (who worked with Chopra for Mission Kashmir ) will direct it.
The movie, featuring Mr. Bachchan in a pivotal role, will have lots of special effects.
To ensure the international quality of special effects, experts from India and abroad will be roped in for the project.
In the meantime, Madhvani has shot a promo of the film with Mr. Bachchan.
Big B seems pretty impressed by Madhvani’s skills. The filmmaker previously worked with Big B when he made a documentary on Bachchan called ‘Everlasting Life’.
Apart from Chopra’s film, Mr. Bachchan will also be a part of Rohan Sippy’s fantasy movie titled Aladdin .
