Mehrunissa

Amitabh Bachchan's nod awaits Mehrunissa

Everything else except Big B’s approval is in place for Sudhir Mishra’s dream project Mehrunissa. If reports are to believe, UTV Pictures is producing the film and the shooting of the movie will begin in March at Lucknow.

Mehrunissa is an epic story which happens to be a Hindu-Muslim love story. Rishi Kapoor plays a Hindu lawyer and Amitabh Bachchan will play a Muslim police commissioner. If it is true, Rishi and Amitabh would be coming together after a gap of 28 years.

They last worked together in Coolie (1983). “I want to work with Amitji. Now it all depends on him,” says Kapoor.
