Actress Khushbu, Big B movie on track?

Posted: 19 Jul 2012 12:34 PM PDT

Two years back, director Revathy S Varma (who made June R with Jyothika and Suriya) had cast Amitabh Bachchan to play the lead in her Bollywood film Mad Dad. She had also roped in actress Khushbu, who had played a crucial role in June R, to play the wife of Big B. However, the project was stalled on account of the Bollywood superstar's illness.

While the director is currently making the film in Malayalam with actor Lal, TV host Nazriya Nazim and Meghna Raj, we hear that she is also trying to resuscitate the project in Hindi as well.
The filmmaker, who is currently busy with the post production work for the Malayalam film, confirmed that she plans to remake the film in Hindi. "I'm not aware of the current availability status of the actors as I've been concentrating on the Malayalam film. But, some interested Bollywood producers have also suggested that we could make the film with Sanjay Dutt, in case Amitabh Bachchan is unavailable," she said.
When we contacted actress Khusbhu, she said, "Yes, I had been approached and agreed to do the film two years back. But I don't know the status of the project now."
