With DiCaprio around, who’ll notice me: Big B

Mumbai, July 3: Even as he gears up to share screen space with Johnny Depp in Mira Nair’s screen adaptation of the Gregory David Robert’s novel Shantaram, Amitabh Bachchan might also add Hollywood heavyweights Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe as his co-stars for Ridley Scott’s next.

The film in question is Scott’s ambitious Body of Lies, a thriller with an al-Qaeda plot. William Monahan, who also wrote The Departed, has written the film. Bachchan received an email from Scott’s office last week.

“Ridley Scott wants me to play a part of the Jordanian in the film. I’ve asked for more details. I need to see the script before I take a call. Let’s be realistic. Who will notice me when DiCaprio and Crowe are in the same film?” Bachchan joked on the sidelines of Idea Exchange, a discussion forum hosted by the The Indian Express.

The buzz is that the man behind masterpieces like Gladiator and Matchstick Men is really keen to direct Bachchan.
