Although
the
status
on
RGV's
version
of
Sholay
is
still
unknown,
he
has
gone
ahead
and
announced
yet
another
project,
Nishabd.
This
project
is
the
Bollywood
version
of
Vladimir
Nakobov's
timeless
novel
Lolita.
And
none
other
than
Amitabh
Bachchan
has
been
roped
in
for
the
lead
role.
The
film
revolves
around
a
54-year
old
married
man,
played
by
Bachchan
who
falls
in
love
with
a
girl,
36
years
younger
than
him.
Newcomer,
Jia
will
play
Bachchan's
love
interest.
They
believe
that
a
new
face
will
make
the
character
more
believable.
Talking
about
the
film,
Varma
stated
that
age
has
nothing
to
do
with
love.
Attraction
between
two
people
can
exist,
irrespective
of
age.
Varma
has
been
toying
with
this
idea
since
a
while,
now.
Bachchan
was
quite
excited
to
be
a
part
of
the
project.
While
Nakobov's
novel
is
about
a
44-year
old
man
fantasizing
about
a
14-year
old,
Varma's
Nishabd
is
a
passionate
love
story.
The
film
is
expected
to
go
on
floors
on
May
1.
The
crew
plan
to
complete
the
shooting
in
a
single
schedule.
