Superstar Amitabh Bachchan ’s next film with director Ram Gopal Varma has been retitled ‘India 24x7’.
The maverick filmmaker attempts to bring forth the pros and cons of media in his next film which was previously titled Rann , meaning battle. In it Mr. Bachchan plays the owner of a TV channel named India 24x7.
The name has been sticking with everyone on the sets so much that ‘Rann’ has been dropped as the title and ‘India 24x7’ chosen in its place.
“The title is no longer ‘Rann’, as in a battle or a war, but India 24x7,” Bachchan wrote on his blog.
Big B began shooting the film on April 2 and the very first day of the shoot had the superstar delivering a long rousing speech. The monologue, written by Rohit Banwalikar, had Mr. Bachchan’s character Harshvardhan Malik making an emotional plea against communal and religious violence.
In fact, the speech roused Big B’s interest and he made his own additions to it.
Besides Bachchan, the movie also stars Ritesh Deshmukh , Paresh Rawal , Gul Panag , Neetu Chandra and Rajpal Yadav
