Amitabh, Shahrukh set to shoot together!

While rumour mills alleged growing rivalry between superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan, the two are already in the process of shooting a film together. Bachchan and Khan will soon be shooting for Ravi Chopra’s Bhootnath in July. Bachchan plays a ghost and is in the main lead while Shah Rukh Khan makes a guest appearance in the film.

Sanjay Bhutiani, the CEO of BR Films, said, “There has been a delay in the start of shooting of the film but Shah Rukh has already begun shooting for the film. We will now be shooting at least 15 days a month for the film and plan to wrap up the entire shooting of the film by July-August.’’

The shooting was to start in November last year but it got delayed by four months. Debutant director Vivek Sharma said that Bachchan has a different look in the film. “He is playing a ghost for the first time. Earlier, he was shooting for two other films Cheeni Kum and Sholay. Also the marriage of his son was first scheduled to happen in February then got postponed to April. We want to shoot the film from start to finish now.’’

Bhootnath also marks the return of the Darr couple after a gap of five years. “Juhi Chawla and Shah Rukh Khan play a couple in the film. And it is nice to see that their chemistry remains the same,’’ said Sharma.
