Mumbai: When his admirers in the Indian film industry refer to him as ‘God’, they would have never imagined he would one day Amitabh Bachchan would actually star as God in a film. But that’s exactly what the Big B plays in writer-turned-director Rumi Jaffrey’s ‘God, Tussi Great Ho’. Says a source, “Big B plays a spunky funny doughty and dude-like God, not your average God-in-costume but a very funky character, who has this on-going dialogue on life with Salman.

In fact all of Bachchan Saab’s scenes are with Salman, an actor he really enjoys working with after Baghban and Baabul.In both they shared screen space as father and son. In God… they’ve a far funnier and much more easy- going rapport.”

The Big B is expected to complete his God-ly role by the end of 2007. Brushing off all illusions of grandeur the Big B says, “It’s just a role, albeit with a fantasy element that’s fun to do. And working with Salman is always enjoyable.”
