Sooraj Barjatya is all set to team-up with Amitabh Bachchan in his next project despite of the rumors working with Salman Khan. However, Salman Khan and the director will be working in 2022. After his last directorial, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo got a mixed response but was a box office hit. Hence, the fans and insiders are excited as the director is all set to begin his next film, starring Amitabh Bachchan in the lead.
According to the reports by Bollywood Hungama, the megastar is already looking forward to shooting the film. A source revealed, “This is the first time that Amitabh Bachchan is teaming up with Sooraj Barjatya. When Sooraj ji came to narrate Mr. Bachchan the script, the latter was in for a surprise. Sooraj ji has a very entertaining and dramatic style of narrating the film. He even hums the song and background score to give the actor a complete feel of the film. Mr. Amitabh Bachchan naturally was floored by this technique. Also, he loved the script and was bowled over by its rootedness and simplicity. He has not done such a role and worked in such a family entertainer in more than a decade. Hence, he immediately came on board.”
Further, it was revealed that Amitabh Bachchan has made some adjustments in his busy schedule to fit in this project. The source continued, “The actor is currently filming for MayDay. Once he finishes work on Ajay Devgn’s thriller, he will move on to Sooraj Barjatya’s next, in February. It is expected to be a 60-day schedule. Only after completing this film will he move on to Vikas Bahl’s film, reportedly titled Deadly.”
Alongside, Amitabh Bachchan has currently six films scheduled to be released. He recently completed the shooting for Ayan Mukerji’s Brahmastra, Vikas Bahl’s next, and Sooraj Barjatya’s project. It is also expected that he will soon begin shooting for Nag Ashwin’s film, starring Prabhas and Deepika Padukone. And two other films that are ready to be released are Chehre and Jhund.
