Bollywood Megastar Amitabh Bachchan
and Rishi Kapoor will face each other on
the big screen after 22 years to play
friends, who have not spoken to each
another for 25 years, in Sudhir Mishra's Mehrunissa.
The duo, who were last seen together in
Shashi Kapoor-directed 1991 film Ajooba, will go through a period of
rehearsals and workshops to play two hostile friends in Mishra's film.
According to a source close to the project:
"The two friends, one a Muslim and the
other a Hindu, fell out because they were both in love with the same
girl. Now 25 years later, they will confront each other."
Mishra wants the two actors to get
comfortable being uncomfortable with one another.
"Bachchan saab and Rishiji have to project the friction of two people,
two friends who know one another so well that they can remain bonded
even without talking for so many years," added the source.
Chitrangada Singh plays the girl they both fell in love with. But most
of her scenes would be with the actors who play the young Big B and
Rishi.
Mishra will begin shooting the film in
September in a start to finish schedule in
Lucknow.
