After pursuing Amitabh Bachchan for almost two decades, Vidhu Vinod Chopra finally succeeded in getting the ace actor in “Eklavya” and says it’s a kind of performance that people have “never seen before”.
“We’ve been trying to work together since 1987. Words fail to convey how I felt after working with him,” Chopra told IANS.
“Ralph Fiennes saw ‘Eklavya’ with me. He was so moved. At the end of it, he applauded spontaneously. On an impulse he went with me to Amitabh Bachchan’s house.
“Here was one of the greatest actors in the world praising Amitabh and telling him his performance in ‘Eklavya’ was among the best he has seen. For once, I think Amitabh took me seriously. I also keep telling him ‘Eklavya’ is his career’s best,” he added.
Amitabh will be seen in another film of Chopra, which is going to be directed by Ram Madhvani who worked with him in “Mission Kashmir”.
“Ram is making a huge fantasy like ‘Lord Of The Rings’ for me. Amitabh will star in that. And if all goes well I’ll direct another film this fall. I’ve a couple of ideas.”
