Amitabh Bachchan was busy in the shooting of the film ‘Brahmastra,’ which features Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt. Both the actors, Ranbir Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan, have made heavy usage of prosthetics and costumes in the movie.
Director Ghosh, while talking to media, said “When you get an actor like Amitabh Bachchan, half your battle is won as he’s every director’s delight and I’m extremely excited to direct him. Also, I have been trying to work with Taapsee for a while. This is the perfect story to collaborate with her on. My excitement is doubled now that the film is being produced by SRK. I couldn’t have asked for a better team and now it is time for work.”
