Big B gets a blast from the past in Aladin

By Joginder Tuteja
Mumbai, Oct 12 (IANS) Filmmaker Sujoy Ghosh is such a huge fan of Amitabh Bachchan that he revisited many of the megastar's hit films, studied key scenes and dialogues and came up with his own take by presenting them in his forthcoming fantasy adventure "Aladin".
As a tribute, he wanted audiences to get a sneak peak into Amitabh's past movies and incorporated those elements into the character of Genius - The Genie that would instantly find a connect with the audiences.
"As a fan of his work, you also want him to do something that you know would keep millions of his fans and followers worldwide happy. It's a good mix and I really had fun putting it all together. As for the inspiration factor, it's for the audiences to see once the film hits the screens. I would be keen to see how they catch on and then react to it," Ghosh told IANS.
Amitabh was Ghosh's only choice when he conceptualised the character of Genius - The Genie for "Aladin". It is a known fact that Genie is set in contemporary times and the character is flashy, vibrant and not many were aware that Ghosh has extended his real life tribute to the actor on reel as well.
"When you have someone like Mr. Bachchan working with you, you naturally become a lot greedy. You want to talk to him about his work over the years, the way he approached his character and then also try to present him with a characterisation that he has never been seen in before," he said.
The director was always intrigued by the way the megastar has continued to re-invent himself over all these years.
No wonder one can already see Amitabh shaking a leg a la "Pag Ghunghroo Bandh" in "O re Saawariya" with his pink 'pagdi' and trademark white 'kurta' intact. His song "Tak dhina dhin" too has a "Jahan Teri Yeh Nazar Hai" flavour to it.
Moreover, there are also certain scenes in the film that are inspired by the Big B's old movies.
A co-production of Sunil Lulla from Eros International and Sujoy Ghosh's Boundscript, "Aladin" also stars Sanjay Dutt as Ringmaster, Riteish Deshmukh in the title role and debutant Jacqueline Fernandes as Jasmine.

Happy Birthday Amitabh Bachchan! turning 67 Cards
BIG B, the angry young man, the superstar of millenium, the shahenshah of Bollywood, the megastar, the legend, Amitabh Bachchan would be turning 67 on October 11. He is someone who likes to maintain a balance in everything he does. If one gets captivated by him once, there is no chance that one can forget him. He did have many ups and downs, but everytime he has come back stronger and taller.
Amitabh started his career with the movie Saat Hindustani and slowly and gradually he was loved by one and all for his outstanding performances in movies like Zanjeer, Sholay, Abhimaan, Deewar, Coolie, Don, Silsila, Mohabatein, Baghban, Sarkar, Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham..the list is endless.
After his movie Zanjeer which was released in 1973, he came to be known as the angry young man.
Some of Amitabh's dialogues which are still fresh in everyone's mind are :
Main aaj bhi phenke hue paise nahin uthata from the movie Deewar, Don ko pakadna mushkil hi nahin, namumkin hai from Don, Tumhara Naam kya hai, Basanti from Sholay, and last but not the least the most famous and loved by everyone dialogue, Pura naam, Vijay Dinanath Chauhan, baap ka naam, Dinanath Chauhan..from Agneepath.
Its not only the big screen that he rules. His television career has no fewer feats. Who can forget his, "Namashkar, aap dekh rahein hain Kaun Banega Crorepati" the reality show where he was the anchor for two seasons. Yet again he has come up as a pop philosopher on Bigg Boss season 3, which is a great delight for his fans.
Amitabh said that he would be seen playing roles that suit a 67 year old as he just can't be playing the lover boy anymore. Even at the age of 67, he is one of the most busiest actors in bollywood. He has finished shooting for his forthcoming films Aladin, Teen Patti and Paa, which are eagerly waited to be released by all his fans.
As our favourite superstar turns 67 on October 11, lets wish him a very happy birthday and wish that we get to se him on screen for many more years to come.
Happy Birthday Amitabh Bachchan!
