Bachchan
launched
the
dramatic
poster
of
his
first
fiction
TV
series
titled
"Yudh",
which
is
expected
to
go
on
air
from
July,
here
Wednesday.
Big
B,
who
will
be
seen
playing
the
role
of
construction
company
co-owner
Yudhishthir
Sikarwar
in
the
TV
series,
unveiled
the
poster
in
the
presence
of
his
co-stars
Sarika
and
Aahana
Kumra,
the
show's
creative
director
Anurag
Kashyap,
and
creative
consultant
Shoojit
Sircar,
among
others.
The
poster
of
the
series,
directed
by
Ribhu
Dasgupta,
presents
an
intense-looking
Amitabh
running
away
in
a
blue
suit
against
the
backdrop
of
skyrising
buildings
amidst
dust.
"I
play
a
construction
company
owner.
There
is
business
rivalry
and
family
issues
along
with
health
issues
which
might
be
terminal...how
he
balances
is
what
you
will
get
to
see," Amitabh
told
reporters
here
at
the
poster
launch.
Co-produced
by
Amitabh's
production
company
Saraswati
Creations
with
Endemol
India,
the
show
is
being
promoted
as
a
"first
of
its
own
kind"
TV
series.
"TV
needs
change
and
we
always
complain
about
it.
I
feel
it
('Yudh')
is
cinema
as
a
TV
series," said
Sircar.
Kashyap
agreed:
"It's
like
cinema
on
screen.
This
is
Mr.
Bachchan
at
his
best.
We
followed
rules
of
cinema
for
the
show.
The
approach...from
script
to
sound
design
to
editing,
it's
same
as
it's
done
in
films."
The
series
will
be
aired
on
Sony
Entertainment
Television.
