Is Big B planning to do a Tamil film?

New Delhi: Tamil director A Balakrishnan is planning his next film, which will focus on Indo-Pak relationship. And guess what, the Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan could play a role in the film, if everything goes well! "Today, India has friendly ties with England, which actually colonised us, but we are fighting with Pakistan, which was once a part of our own land. My next movie will talk about it and traverses from Jinnah to Ajmal Kasab," says Balakrishnan.

"I'm in talks with folks close to actor Amitabh Bachchan in order to rope him in for an important character," says Balakrishnan, who is done with the basic storyline for the movie.

The director, who made his debut with Kamaraj, a movie in the life of former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, says Mudhalvar Mahatma is a different take on the Father of our Nation.

"This Gandhi is going to live with us and question things that are against the welfare of the nation," says Balakrishnan.

'Mudhalvar Mahatma', in which Anupam Kher plays an important role, is all set for a release in about 40 screens across Tamil Nadu.

Balakrishnan also plans to release the movie in Hindi under the title, 'Welcome Back Gandhi'.
