Amitabh Bachchan in Leena Yadav's Teen Patti

Leena Yadav, who directed Shabd with Aishwarya Rai and Sanjay Dutt, is all set to direct Ash's father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan in Teen Patti.

While the director is currently into pre-production and is reluctant to speak about the cast of the film, it is learnt that Big B will have to be adept at playing cards to do this part. "And I'm terrible with cards!" Amitabh laments.

Arshad Warsi is also playing an important role in Teen Patti.

Amitabh has earlier played a cards whiz in Shakti Samanta's The Great Gambler in the late 1970s in which Bachchan played a double role of a gambler and a look-alike cop. Zeenat Aman and Neetu Singh were his co-stars.

Besides the Big B and Arshad, Leena intends to cast a group of youngsters in principal roles. "The audition is on," she says.

Here's a beautiful song from the movie The Great Gambler featuring Amitabh and Zeenat.
