Bollywood mega superstar Amitabh Bachchan will star in close friend producer-director Romesh Sharma’s next film.
Sharma is poised to launch his next film, featuring Bachchan and his son, Karan Sharma in lead roles.
The film will be directed by Sharma and will be launched by August or September 2007.
Sharma had launched his son with the Big B, with Dil Jo Bhi Kahey in 2005, but the film failed to create ripples at the box-office.
"The final draft of the script is in progress. I cannot think about a film without Mr. Bachchan. My son will also feature in the film," he said.
Sharma and Jaya Bachchan studied at the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), Pune together, and has been a close friend of the family ever since.
Sharma’s most notable production and biggest hit has been ‘Hum’ in 1991 – a film that gave Bachchan’s sagging career a big boost at that time.
