Angry old man Big B?

Director Puri Jagannath has embarked on a project to direct Big B Amitabh Bachchan. This time it is in Hindi. You doubt whether the audiences will like the four-lettered word used on the title.Buddha, with tagline Don’t f**k with Him is all about a aging dude with an attitude. We know, Jagannath has directed great films like Pokiri (This was also remade in Hindi as Wanted with Salman Khan in the lead). We have to watch him enter the Bollywood race with non less than the tallest of actors!The unusual tagline, Don't F**k With Him, is obviously a brainwave of Ram Gopal Varma who is producing the movie.

No, it neither about Gauthan Buddha or a cartoon of an old man, says Puri Jagannath. ‘‘Bachchan's character is actually an angry old man’s. He is violent. I've tailored the script for him. This 60-year old man refuses to accept his age. Every time someone calls him an old man he rebels with fury," admits Puri."Budha is not a remake of any Telugu film. It's an original screenplay written for Bachchan. The challenge was to cast him as a character he hadn't done before, ‘’ he adds.
