Mumbai, Mar 8: Amitabh Bachchan-owned AB Corp would spell the name of its next movie venture as 'Bbuddah', so as not to hurt the sentiments of Gautam Buddha's followers.
"The title of the next AB Corp production will be spelt 'BBUDDAH', with the tag line 'hoga terra baap!'. Just making sure it does not mingle (sic) with Gautam Buddha, the saint," Amitabh wrote on his blog.
The film is to be produced jointly by Viacom 18 Motion Pictures and the AB Corp.
It is directed by Tollywood director Puri Jagannath of 'Pokiri' fame. Pokiri was remade as 'Wanted' in Hindi. "The first shot done today in Mumbai...joining by March 23. I join them when I finish here in Bhopal for 'Aarakshan'," Big B said.
Puri will be making his Bollywood debut with this film which has Amitabh in the lead role. Three leading heroines were required to be a part of this movie. It is heard that
Hema Malini, Raveena Tandon have already been roped in to play the lead roles, besides southern actress Charmme.
Abhishek tweeted, "The B back to doing what we love to see him do, might not be that young but he's definitely Angry. Very excited about this film. Need your wishes and blessings." PTI
