Amitabh to essay the role of Rabindranath Tagore

Amitabh Bachchan has played many diverse roles in his 40 years long acting career. Now to add to this assortment the actor will be seen essaying the role of the Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore.

The mega star has been roped in by Argentinian filmmaker Pablo Cesar to portray the poet- writer- philosopher on the big screen.

Throwing light on the same, Cesar said, “We have got financial backing from an Argentinean film association. And we plan to approach Amitabh Bachchan in Mumbai who would recreate Rabindranath Tagore’s encounter with Argentine writer Victoria Ocampo on the silver screen.”

Cesar plans to name his project ‘Thinking Of Him’, which were the last words Ocampo mentioned in the telegram she sent to his family after Tagore passed away. The film will be partly period and partly set in modern day and will be shot in Kolkata, Shantiniketan as well as in Argentina.
