Only for Chiranjeevi: Amitabh Bachchan does it for free
- IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,August 22 2019]
Amitabh Bachchan has a special role in 'Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy'. The idea to cast the legendary actor in the role was first conceived by director Surender Reddy himself.
Guess what, Big B has done the role without charging a single penny. The Bollywood Megastar didn't ask for any remuneration, nor did he give his travel bills to Konidela Production Company. The senior actor did the role as a goodwill gesture toward Chiranjeevi.
I see Amitabh Bachchan ji as my mentor. There is only one Megastar and he is Amitabh Bachchan. Nobody can even come close to him. Big B has played my guru in the film. When my director said that he wants Amitabh ji for the role, I called him up and told him about the role. He gave a nod immediately over the phone. My heart-felt thanks to the Indian Megastar, Chiru recently said.
The film will hit the screens on October 2.
