Big B to shave off beard?
Director R Balakrishna of Cheeni Kum fame has once again teamed up with Amitabh Bachchan in Pa and says he is giving the legendary actor a complete makeover.
Director R Balakrishna of Cheeni Kum fame has once again teamed up with Amitabh Bachchan in Pa and says he is giving the legendary actor a complete makeover.
Big B is said to have agreed to cast off his beard for this emotional drama.���I���m not going to tell you whether I���ve asked Mr Bachchan to shave off his beard or not. But for sure, this is going to be his most startling makeover in recent times,��� Balakrishna, who is also known as Balki, said.
���While Abhishek will be given a more intrinsic personality change, I���m totally changing Amitabhs��� look,��� he added.
After Sarkar and Sarkar Raj, Amitabh and Abhishek will again be seen playing father and son in a film.
���Pa would be a far more emotional story than Cheeni Kum, which was far more caustic, dry and sharp-tongued.
���Actually, Cheeni Kum was inspired by one scene in Raj Khosla���s Dostana where Amitabh confronted Zeenat Aman. The look of utter disdain and sarcasm in his eyes remained with me. That���s how his character in Cheeni Kum was born.���
In Pa, Big B plays someone he has never played before. ���While in Cheeni Kum he was a character I had seen earlier, in Pa he���s a totally different person. It��� a very emotional father-son story, but the emotions won���t be melodramatic.���
In Cheeni Kum, Balki roped in Tabu to play Amitabh���s love interest, but there is no romantic track for him in the forthcoming movie. Vidya Balan is cast as Abhishek���s love interest.
���Amitji will have no love interest. His world revolves around his son. Will I borrow from Amitabh���s real-life relationship with Abhishek? No. In fact, I know them so well that I'll make sure I avoid all references to their real life.���
And what about the music? ���Ah Ilayaraja again ��� I worship the man. And the cinematography will be by none other than PC Sreeram, again after Cheeni Kum,��� Balki said.
