Grandchildren are Big B’s inspiration

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan is playing the role of a 12 year old progeric in his upcoming flick Paa and his inspiration for the role are his grand kids.

Amitabh says, “A lot of prosthetics went into making me look like a 12-year-old in ‘Paa’. I did try to watch kids and took a little bit of hints from my own kids’ childhood, but I took most from my grandchildren. They were quite an inspiration for me for ‘Paa’.”

Salman Khan in 'Satte Pe Satta' Remake

One can’t forget Salman Khan’s double role in laugh riot Judwaa. Now, his brother Sohail Khan wants to make a modern version of the cult comedy Satte Pe Satta and who better to step in Big B’s shoes than Salman Khan himself.

In the remake, Salman Khan will play the double role immortalized by the super-funny Amitabh Bachchan in the 1982 original version which was inspired by the Hollywood film ‘Seven Brides For Seven Brothers’. Sohail Khan is keen to produce the remake and is in the process of buying the film’s rights from the Sippys.

The buzz says that comedy king David Dhawan could direct the film. As for now, Sohail is unable to hide his excitement and is in a hurry to finalize things. In ‘Satte Pe Satta’ his bhai Salman Khan will play the hero Ravi and the brown-eyed antagonist Babu.

Since the movie is a multi-starrer, will Sohail Khan also join the league of seven brothers? Well, no. Sohail says he is happy to produce the film as it’s going to be a huge task to get so many actors and actresses for it. Sohail Khan is looking forward to sign friends from the industry to avoid hassles.
