Still angry
While Big B dressed in a suave blue coat, those accompanying him sported ostentatious yellow scarves around their necks. The setting to introduce a flamboyant Bachchan, the way the audience will see him in Bbuddah Hoga Tera Baap, that releases on July 1, was apt. Visibly excited about the role, Amitabh Bachchan led the press conference in Delhi, on Sunday evening. “My character’s name is Viju and he is an ex-gangster, who comes back to the city to finish his ‘last job’.
He wears loud clothes and is arrogant, but at the same time he is also very relaxed and cool,” said the actor, who has also sung four numbers in the film, including Go Meera Go, which is a medley of songs from his popular films of the yesteryears, including Yaarana, Namak Halal and Silsila.
Directed by Puri Jagannadh, a prominent filmmaker in Telugu cinema, the movie promises to have all the ingredients of a Bollywood masala flick, from foot-tapping numbers to an action sequence inspired from movies down South. Bachchan, meanwhile, will be seen in his trademark image of the ‘angry young man’ of the ’70s and ’80s. “Puri told me he had stopped watching my films after Mard because he didn’t see any of the elements he had seen in my previous films. So through this film he has recaptured the elements that he loved to see me in,” said Bachchan.
