- IndiaGlitz, [Friday,February 22 2013]
For the first time The BachchanÂs majestic abode has thrown open its doors to allow the film walas to capture the iconic spaces to showcase on big screens.
For his forthcoming short story, Anurag Kashyap sought the permission of megastar Amitabh Bachchan to shoot in his bungalow Prateeksha. KashyapÂs short film, which is part of ÂBombay TalkiesÂ, revolves around an ardent fan of Big B and how he travels from Allahabad to Mumbai to fulfill his dying motherÂs last wish of feeding the superstar home-made sweet pickle.
Incidentally this is the first time that a filmÂs shooting is taking place inside the BachchanÂs residence. According to sources, KashyapÂs film will include scenes shot in the bungalow's porch, drive-way and main reception area.
ÂBombay Talkies is an ode to cinema by four prolific film makers - Zoya Akhtar, Dibarkar Bannerjee, Anurag Kashyap and Karan Johar. The project is a landmark feature film of this year releasing on the centenary date 3 May when we complete 100 years of cinema.
