Rajkumar Hirani, Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Amitabh Bachchan at an event in Mumbai.
Filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani has expressed his desire to direct megastar Amitabh Bachchan.
"I would love to direct him (Amitabh Bachchan). I have a script. I am working on it hopefully by the year-end I will be done. Then I will approach him," he told reporters at an event.
"I did direct him in two advertisements. I did feel hesitate to tell him anything but he is good at what he does. It is difficult to direct him but I am looking forward to work with him," the 52-year-old
PK director added.
Rajkumar Hirani was speaking at the teaser launch event for
Wazir, which he has co-produced with Vidhu Vinod Chopra. The film has been directed by Bejoy Nambiar.
"I am a big fan of him (Mr Bachchan). As a child I used to speak like him, get clothes stitched like him, listened to his father's poems that he recited. I remember when he came to my place he did recite his father's poems and I have recorded that and kept it. It is a precious possession. It is a joy to hear it," the
3 Idiots director added.
He also revealed that he would soon start work on his next film - a biopic on Sanjay Dutt. "I am still writing the script. We are working on it. Next year we will shoot," he said.
Of rumours that Deepika Padukone will be acting in this film, he said, "As of now I have only spoken to Ranbir, not met anyone yet for the casting."
