Megastar
Amitabh
Bachchan,
who
will
soon
be
seen
acting
in
a
television
show
that
he
is
co-producing,
says
his
creative
team
wants
to
make
something
different
but
refuses
to
divulge
anything
about
the
storyline.
"There
are
many
shows
running
on
TV
at
the
moment
but
we
want
to
give
a
different
kind
of
story
to
this
one.
We
want
to
put
it
out
there
and
see
the
reaction.
It
is
premature
to
talk
about
the
story
right
now," he
said
while
announcing
the
show
at
a
press
conference
here
Wednesday.
The
name
of
the
show
has
not
been
decided
yet
but
will
star
Amitabh
Bachchan
and
will
be
directed
by
filmmaker
Anurag
Kashyap.
The
show
will
be
aired
on
Sony
and
has
been
produced
by
Bachchan's
company
Saraswati
Creations
in
collaboration
with
Endemol
India.
Responding
to
a
question
as
to
how
he
came
on
board,
Bachchan
said
that
he
had
been
wondering
for
a
while
if
it
would
be
appropriate
to
act
in
a
fiction
show
on
TV.
"It
has
been
a
long
journey.
With
each
enterprise
I
feel
what
can
be
done
next.
I
have
been
wondering
for
a
while
if
working
in
a
serial
would
be
appropriate,"
he
said.
The
actor,
however,
added
that
he
had
a
desire
to
work
with
Anurag
Kashyap.
"We
are
in
the
process
of
constructing
the
show.
I
always
had
the
desire
to
work
with
Anurag
Kashyap.
I
am
very
appreciative
of
his
work,"
he
said.
Bachchan
said
that
a
natural
pressure
comes
with
every
new
venture.
"Honestly,
we
have
been
working
on
it
for
six
months
which
is
a
long
time.
Whenever
you
do
something
novel
there
is
pressure
and
anxiety
which
comes
with
it.
We
have
had
debates,
discussions
and
arguments,"
he
said.
"We
have
reached
a
stage
where
we
have
found
and
discovered
that
this
is
what
we
want
to
make.
Everyone
is
in
agreement.
Now
it
is
time
for
us
to
get
down
to
working,"
he
added.
Talking
about
television
as
a
medium,
he
said
he
does
not
want
to
compare
with
the
west.
"We
don't
want
to
compare
ourselves
with
the
west.
We
want
to
do
something
individual
and
get
the
west
to
admire
it,"
he
said.
Bachchan
also
added
that
he
kept
his
decision
to
come
in
a
fiction
show
away
from
his
family
as
well.
"When
I
was
going
to
do
KBC,
everyone
said
it
was
a
mistake.
They
said
it
would
reduce
by
stature.
In
a
couple
of
months
I
will
be
71,
no
stature
is
left
now.
I
want
to
do
what
I
have
not
done
before.
I
kept
mentioning
it
to
my
family
but
they
didn't
ask
much.
I
hope
they
maintain
the
same
protocol,"
he
said.
