The 73-year-old actor recently starred on Shoojit’s production “Pink”, which has been directed by Bengali director Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury.<\/p>\n
“Since Mrinalda’s (Mirnal Sen) ‘Bhuban Shome’, where I did a voice-over, I have worked with almost every Bengali director right upto now and I continue to work with them\u2014from Hrishida, Shakti Samanta, Promod Chakraborty, Dulal Guha, Basuda (Basu Chatterjee) and now Shoojit.<\/p>\n
“They have decided to choose me and that is a privilege.<\/p>\n
In fact, there is a certain sensibility which Bengali directors have. They are able to touch a certain nerve,” Bachchan said during a promotional media event for “Pink.”<\/p>\n
Referring to Shoojit, who has directed him in “Piku” and the unreleased “Shoebite,” Bachchan said, “Many times, Shoojit tells me how to enact a particular scene.”<\/p>\n
Talking about “Pink”, the actor said the film’s realistic courtroom scenes have worked well with the audience and he finds that encouraging.<\/p>\n
“Every film with courtroom scenes in most of the Hindi films, there is a lot of drama, I am sorry to say. But in ‘Pink’, the dialogues were very normal, almost casual and from the audience’s response that had worked.”<\/p>\n
“Yes that drama also works. But I am happy to say that this (scenes in ‘Pink’) also works. That gives us faith,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
