August 24, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan has acted in lots of films with different filmmakers in his four decade long career in the industry. But, it is for the first time, the actor will be seen in an Abbas-Mastan movie, if everything goes well.
The director duo, who started their career as assistant directors to Sultan Ahmad and Mehul Kumar, got their first directorial debut with a Gujarati movie. They have given some notable films like Khiladi, Baazigar, Soldier, Aitraaz, Race etc. The director duo is also very excited to work with Big B for the very first time.
There is a report that the movie with Amitabh Bachchan would be based on a socially-relevant subject, which will be written by Nishikant Kamat, who directed the movie Mumbai Meri Jaan.
If everything is put right, Abbas Mastan would start the movie before their other movie, which is a remake of The Italian Job. Confirming the news on the website, Abbas said it is true that we are working with him but nothing has been decied yet.
However, sources have reportedly said that the project has been finalized and shooting would start before the remake of The Italian Job. Well, hope the duo creates their usual magic with the big star Amitabh Bachchan.
