New Delhi: Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan is off to Ooty to shoot for your project Malayalam, said that he gave his assent to the film only by his admiration for the southern superstar Mohanlal.

“My admiration for Mohanlal never made me accept this offer and I do for him,” Amitabh posted on his blog www.bigb.bigadda.com.

“Mohanlal has been and remains one of the most incredible talents of Kerala and Malayalam film industry. I have admired him and his work through many years of my life in this profession. He has a unique body language and face. You get the feeling that he is not doing anything, however, results in the most surprising results – natural, effortless and effective. Only a great joy to see, “he wrote.

The tender for the project, yet-to-be-titled came to Amitabh when he went to Kerala to attend the victory celebration of sound technician Resul Pookutty Oscar last year.

“It was here where Mohanlal, a guest on the occasion, had come to my room with its principal director Ravi who support this idea and this proposal. A few weeks later, all came to meet me in Mumbai to adjust all the details for the launch, “he posted.

The 67-year-old is working for free in the film.

“(They) put the inevitable question that most producers make the payment! I had laughed at them. What? Fee work for three days in a Mohanlal film? An actor that I admire? You must be joking! No way, no fees, no nothing. Just tell me when I observe, and where. That’s all. “

There will be no language barrier that Amitabh is playing a character of northern India.

“The film is in Malayalam, but my character is in northern India for what is said in Hindi, with the odd phrase in Malayalam. Now that will be tough, but the effort will be made, let’s see what happens,” he wrote .
