Big B to play 12 year old child

Amitabh Bachchan is all set to do a challenging role at the age of 66. Big B is going to play a boy 54 years younger to him. But this superstar has prepared to give his best shot to pull off the seemingly impossible.




Rather than having a child artist play the role, Amitabh Bachchan himself plays 12-year-old son of Abhishek Bachchan in director R Balakrishnan’s film Pa. In the movie Big B plays a character suffering from Progeria and therefore he ages very fast through the course of the story.

Big B for this had to use a lot of prosthetic make-up to look like a 12-year-old child. To stay within his character, the megastar would often throw childish tantrums on the sets. On the sets, Big B would also stomp his feet like a brat and just go on whining.

Balki admits he’s floored by Big B’s dedication for his role in the film. So, quite wisely, the director has decided that the movie’s credits will read ‘Introducing Amitabh Bachchan’ because the superstar hasn’t played any role like this before in his life.
