Director-producer
Bejoy
Nambiar,
who
is
set
to
direct
Amitabh
Bachchan
in
his
next
thriller,
finds
the
megastar
"ridiculously
humble" for
his
stature.
"For
the
kind
of
person
he
is,
he
is
overtly
and
ridiculously
humble.
He
makes
you
feel
comfortable.
In
fact,
the
first
thing
he
did
when
we
met
was
that
he
cracked
a
joke.
I
was
completely
taken
aback.
he
does
not
let
stardom
come
in
between," Bejoy
said.
Bejoy,
who
last
directed
David
and
has
produced
the
upcoming
supernatural
thriller
Pizza,
will
direct
the
untitled
movie,
produced
and
written
by
Vidhu
Vinod
Chopra.
The
film
also
stars
Farhan
Akhtar
and
Aditi
Rao
Hyadri.
The
director,
who
will
start
the
film
in
September
this
year,
said
he
is
still
waiting
for
the
"fanboy" in
him
to
get
out
and
look
at
Bachchan
as
an
actor.
"I
am
in
awe
of
him.
I
need
to
spend
more
time
with
him.
I
am
waiting
to
overcome
my
'fanboyness',"
he
said.
Pizza,
a
remake
of
the
hit
Tamil
film
of
the
same
name,
marks

directorial
