Can't step into Big B's shoes, says Anil Kapoor

Actor Anil Kapoor has opted out of a project that was initially supposed to have Amitabh Bachchan .

Just a few weeks back, we reported about Amitabh’s film Johnny Walker being in a production mess. Percept Picture Company was originally supposed to make the film with Big B in lead role and Shoojit Sircar as director. But Sircar and Mr. Bachchan dissociated themselves from the project after some creative differences with PPC’s joint MD Shailendra Singh.

Sircar in turn has decided to make the film under another production house, UTV. In retaliation, Singh of PPC had asked Anil Kapoor to replace Big B in his film. He had also approached directors Madhur Bhandarkar and Nagesh Kukunoor to direct the film.

But now we learn that Kapoor has opted out of the project because he does not want to create any controversy by being part of the film that was originally to be done by Mr. Bachchan.

Kapoor had a meeting with Shailendra Singh of PPC a few days back and the actor expressed his apprehension on being part of the project.

“I don't want to be part of the film which Mr. Bachchan was supposed to do. I don't feel right about it. I am too small an actor to be a part of something that that Mr. Bachchan was supposed to do,” Anil Kapoor is quoted by Mumbai Mirror.

Understanding the delicacy of the situation, even Shailendra Singh has dropped the project for the time being.
