Bollywood
Superstar
Amitabh
Bachchan
may
reprise
the
role
of
celebrated
painter
MF
Hussain
in
his
upcoming
biopic,
which
will
be
directed
Prabhakar
Shukla,
who
has
earlier
done
a
small-budget
film
Kahani
Gudiya
Ki
in
2008.
The
director
wants
to
rope
in
Big
B
for
the
role
of
the
maverick
artist
in
the
biopic
titled
Hussain
-
The
Painter.
Prabhakar
Shukla
had
been
nurturing
the
idea
of
making
a
film
on
MF
Hussain
for
the
past
one
year.
But
the
exiled
painter
died
of
heart
attack
on
9th
June
before
the
director
could
discuss
the
biopic
in
detail
with
him.
Now,
the
undaunted
director
has
decided
to
go
ahead
with
the
project.
Talking
to
Times
of
India,
Prabhakar
Shukla
said,
“This
has
been
on
my
mind
since
last
year.
Husain
saab
had
verbally
been
okay
with
the
idea.
I
was
planning
to
go
and
meet
him
in
Qatar
this
month,
but
now
I
have
to
rethink." Meanwhile,
he
added,
“I
have
Amitabh
Bachchan
in
mind,
but
I
am
not
sure
if
he
will
do
my
film
as
I
am
yet
to
approach
him."
