Amitabh Bachchan is in Kolkata shooting a movie with Deepika Padukone

Amitabh Bachchan is all of 72-years-old and is, at present, in Kolkata shooting for a movie with Deepika Padukone. The movie is Piku directed by Shoojit Sircar and Amitabh is playing the role of Deepika’s Bengali father.
True to tradition of merging with the role and playing the perfect character that we have seen him portray in his movies, he was dressed in his pyjamas, socks and a grey half-sweater and looked frail enough. He also sorted a neck brace and a head of snow-white hair and that led some to believe that he was not well!!
That was a false alarm because, he stuck to the shooting schedule at Alipore’s Burdwan Rajbari and packed up with the others at around 8pm and headed for his hotel in the Oberoi Grand.
Acting is in Big-B’s blood and he tries to live the role that he is portraying on the silver screen. Some examples are ‘Aakhree Raasta’ of 1986 in which he changed his appearance to take revenge against the people who had wronged his wife. Apart from this movie, there was his 2005 movie ‘Black’ followed by ‘Paa’ in 2009 – he played totally out-of-this-world roles in these movies.
He is aware that he is not young anymore and, therefore, opts for roles of aged persons that would fit him to a T.
