Amitabh Bachchan Feels ‘honored’ to Work with Suraj Barjatya
Amitabh Bachchan, veteran actor and living legend of Bollywood, has expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to work with the eminent filmmaker Suraj Barjatya of Rajshri Productions. Though this is not the first time that he is working with Rajshri, he said that he feels honored to work with Barjatya. At the trailer launch of his upcoming movie Uunchai, he profusely thanked Barjatya for casting him in the film and allowing him to work with great actors.
Mentioning that he had worked with Rajshri Productions in the initial years of his film career, Bachchan also said that both his wife Jaya and son Abhishek had worked with Rajshri, and now it’s his turn. Suraj Barjatya, too, expressed his respect and admiration for “Big B” — as many call him. He said that it is extremely easy to work with him and added that they’ve shared thoughts on poetry and filmmaking in his van. However, on the set, Bachchan is a quiet listener — very likely one reason he has become such an accomplished actor.
Uunchai revolves around the story of four friends on a journey to climb Mount Everest. The story and direction are by Suraj Barjatya and features Anupam Kher, Boman Irani, Neena Gupta and Parineeti Chopra as cast members along with Bachchan.
