As he ages, Amitabh Bachchan is taking on younger roles. Now, his next film Bbuddah would see him playing an old man who feels young. The movie was earlier confused with the title Buddha, giving the impression that it was the story of Siddharth Gautam who was known as Buddha after enlightenment. It was even referred to as Boodha, but now, none other than Mr. Bachchan himself has clarified what the film’s title is.
“It's official now. The title of the next AB Corp production will be spelt "BBUDDAH", with the tag line...'hoga terra baap!'” Mr. Bachchan posted on his blog.
The mega star also insisted that the film has nothing to do with Gautam Buddha. “Just making sure it does not mingle with Gautam Buddha, the saint... Will have more details on it once I join them... but a few thoughts in prayer and wish for the film would be most appreciated,” Big B wrote.
Of course, his son Abhishek is excited about the film’s title. He tweeted: “'Bbuddah - Hoga Tera Baap!'! How cool is that title! 1st day of AB Corps new film... BBUDDAH - hoga Tera baap!!! Starring THE MAN @SrBachchan. He's back and he's angry!!!”
The film will be made under the banner of AB Corp. It will be directed by South director Puri Jagannath. It will have Big B acting with many actresses.
