Big B does a Bheeshma Pitamah

Big B has lent his unmistakeable baritone to the rock-solid character of Bheeshma Pitamah in producer Jayantilal Gada's Rs 150-crore animation flick Mahabharat. Incidentally, Bheeshm — grand uncle of both the Pandavas and the Kauravas — is one of the strongest and most prominent characters of the epic.
Confirming the news, Gada lavished praise on the iconic actor, "He completed the dubbing in one hour flat.Any other actor would have taken at least two days. What's more, he did it free of cost." A couple of decades ago, television actor Mukesh Khanna had immortalised Bheeshma's character through his powerful portrayal in B R Chopra's popular TV serial Mahabharata.
Sr Bachchan is the second actor to have lent his voice to Gada's animation extravaganza after Sunny Deol dubbed for the equally strong character of Bheem a few months ago.
