The King on Sept 12!
Amitabh Bachchan’s most-awaited film, The Last Lear by Planman Motion Pictures, is releasing on September 12. The film is directed by the multiple-award winning Rituparno Ghosh and stars Amitabh Bachchan, Preity Zinta, Arjun Rampal, Shefali Shah and Divya Dutta.
The release was recently announced and the first trailer can be seen in the theatre when you go to watch Singh is Kinng. Audiences who have seen it are awestruck by Bachchan’s unique getup in the film.
The Last Lear has already been screened at four of the world’s best film festivals: Toronto, Rome, London and Rotterdam. The response there was astounding, with long standing ovations after all the screenings. International critics and a few Indian film personalities who have seen the film unanimously say that this is Bachchan’s best film ever. Quite a compliment this, for a man who is the greatest living legend in Indian cinema. Amitabh Bachchan plays an actor, for the very first time in his long professional life, in The Last Lear.
It’s amazing how the biggest superstar of Indian films has never played an actor in his almost four-decades long career. Now, this should be fun! In the trailer, Amitabh Bachchan can be seen effortlessly chanting away powerful dialogues in that voice that can shake mountains. With his long, flowing robes and a white mane, Bachchan surely enthralls. If the promise of excitement and hat ke entertainment in the promo is anything to go by, then this is going to be one rocking film!
