Amitabh Bachchan signs ‘Johny Walker’. No, it’s not an endorsement that he is doing for the famous liquor brand. But, it’s the first film he has signed post his illness. The film will be Co-produced by Percept Picture Company and his own AB Corp. It is going to be directed by Shoojit Sircar (He earlier directed the critically acclaimed ‘Yahaan’).

‘Johny Walker’ is a relationship drama written by the in-house team at PPC and then shaped by the writer of ‘Rang De Basanti’ Renzil D’silva. The film deals with human relationships and apparently the climax is one of the major highlights of the film. In fact, this is for the first time that Big B has given his inputs in the script. If the insiders are to be believed then Vidya Balan is going to be the main lead. It seems Amitabh Bachchan will continue to experiment and push the envelope in the years to come.
