Amitabh Bachchan for The Last Lear

On the eve of the release of his film The Last Lear , Amitabh Bachchan humbly apologised in front of the media for the remarks made by Jaya Bachchan at the music launch of Drona a few days back. Trying to keep controversies aside, Big was fully geared up for The Last Lear .Talking about his role, Amitabh said, “I am playing a retired Shakespearan actor who is acting in a film. Arjun Rampal is the director of the film.Bachchan had a great time working with the director Rituparna Ghosh. I was really interested in working with Rituparna Ghosh since a very long time. Finally we got a script to work together upon. I have to say that it was a fantastic experience in working with an exceptional director like Rituparna Ghosh. He is not just exceptional in his thoughts but in his writing and also in the way in which he treats his artists. He provoked and excited us to a great extent.After having delivered dialogues in Hindi for so many years, how was it delivering dialogues in English?I had no problems in delivering them. It was deliberate to keep it in Engish as the subject was concerning an actor who was a retired Shakespearean actor. When you talk of Shakespeare, it has to be English.
. I had an amazing time shooting in Kolkata as I had worked there for eight years not as an actor but as an executive. The people of Kolkata have always shown great affection for things that are artistic. I hope they enjoy the film as much as everyone else.
