| |||
Friday, 10th March 2016, 12:00 PM IST Vidya Balan has impressed everyone with her never-seen-before avatar in ‘Begum Jaan’. The versatile actress plays the role of a madam of a brothel in the Srijit Mukherji directorial. Now, the reports suggest that Amitabh Bachchan has been roped in to lend his voice for the film. He will be narrating the whole partition sequence and where the story of Begum Jaan begins. Speaking about the same, the director said, “Amitabh Bachchan's voice has been used by Satyajit Ray in Shatranj Ke Khiladi, by Mrinal Sen in Bhuvan Shome and Ashutosh Gowariker in Lagaan. Needless to say, his voice has the finest baritone. I needed a voice to set the milieu of Begum Jaan, which is a period film. I think Bachchan's voice defines history for a lot of generations, his voice has that epicness and an entire generation of cine-goers identify with his voice. It is the ideal way to start telling a story, especially for one that has a history.” Now you can enjoy ad-free experience by downloading India’sfirst Box Office mobile app from here –Android: http://bit.ly/BOCapsuleMobileApp and iOS: bit.ly/BOCapsuleiOSApp |
