For a long time, there has been a talk about Big ‘B’ Amitabh Bachchan thinking about performing seriously in a Marathi film. Now, we understand that he is certainly doing a Marathi film ‘AB & CD‘ which is to be directed by Milind Lele, who had earlier directed Marathi films like ‘Manya Sajjana‘ and ‘Kurukshetra‘. Most of the shooting of this film which will begin from 20^th May will be done in Mumbai and Pune. In this film, Amitabh Bachchan has to do important scenes with Vikram Gokhale. The film also has two songs.

It may be recalled that 25 years ago Mr. Bachchan along with his wife Jaya Bachchan had taken part in the devotional song of Marathi film ‘Akka‘ produced by his make up man Deepak Sawant. Thereafter, in 2009 we saw his ABCL Company producing Marathi film ‘Vihir‘ which was directed by Umesh Vinayak Kulkarni. Recently, we also saw him shooting for Hindi film ‘Jhund‘, which is directed by ‘Sairat‘ fame Nagraj Manjule. But, performing an important role in Marathi and that too in the company of another versatile actor Vikram Gokhale, is a big news for Marathi film lovers.
