Amitabh Bachchan will play a role of M.F. Hussain?

If things go as planned, Hindi filmmaker Prabhakar Shukla might be able to rope in Amitabh Bachchan to play Maqbool Fida Hussain in the film on the life of the deceased painter. Maqbool Fida Hussain's life on film "Hussain - The Painter" is going to be. Prabhakar Shukla growing phenomenally movies will direct it. Now, Shukla has two options - to shelve the project or to go ahead and make the film. He’s even got a producer to back the project.

Interestingly, Shukla has apparently decided to make the film. He hopes to sign Amitabh Bachchan to play the role of MF Husain. However, Shukla has still not approached the superstar and isn’t sure that Bachchan will indeed give his nod to the project. Shukla has to his credit a small-budget film titled Kahani Gudiya Ki and hasn’t yet directed a big budget Bollywood film.

Shukla about the casting of the film say that the Amitabh Bachchan are thinking about taking, but just did not matter to him, so he can not say anything. Big B, by the way, was on very good terms with MF Husain. The latter had gifted him a painting of Lord Hanuman carrying the sanjivani booti when Bachchan was hospitalized during the ‘Coolie’ incident.
