A
report
in
a
section
of
the
press
that
Amitabh
Bachchan
would
be
playing
the
role
of
Bangladesh's
founding-father
Sheikh
Mujibur
Rahman
has
the
mega-star
completely
stumped,
puzzled
and
amused.
"I've
no
idea
what
all
this
is
about.
Lots
of
mediapersons
have
been
calling
since
yesterday.
I
can't
say
where
and
how
this
report
originated
from.
But
it
is
not
true," said
the
Big
B
from
London
on
Saturday
morning
just
before
he
boarded
his
flight
back
to
Mumbai.
It
was
reported
that
the
Big
B
would
play
Mujibur
Rahman
and
that
the
rest
of
the
Bachchan
clan,
Abhishek
and
Aishwarya
Bachchan,
would
feature
in
this
bio-pic.
Continues
the
Big
B,
"I've
no
clue
about
this.
There's
nothing
to
it.
At
least
not
as
far
as
I'm
concerned.
I'm
hearing
all
this
talk
about
this
film
for
the
first
time."
This
isn't
the
first
time
that
producers
have
made
premature
or
unfounded
announcements
about
the
Big
B's
presence
in
a
project.
But
it
would
have
been
interesting
to
watch
him
play
a
historical
character.
In
all
these
years
of
superstardom
the
Big
B
has
never
played
a
biographic
figure.
The
closest
he
came
to
it
was
in
Ram
Gopal
Varma's
Sarkar
where
his
role
had
shades
of
Bal
Thackeray.
