Amitabh Bachchan is currently shooting for the film Chehre, alongside Emraan Hashmi, in Mumbai, and the actor took to social media to share some pictures from the sets of the film.
The pictures offer us the first glimpse into Bachchan’s look in the film.
“Another meter down .. started new film with Rumi Jafry .. “CHEHRE” .. a long standing commitment, now fructifying,” Bachchan wrote.
In the pictures shared on Twitter, Bachchan is seen sporting a long white beard, tied in a ponytail. He is also donning a green woolen cap, scarf and glasses.
The actor went on to elaborate on the fact that he fulfilled his long standing commitment to work with Rumi Jafry by doing Chehre.
“Just a few glimpses of CHEHRE, the film I started for Rumi Jafry .. a long standing commitment .. and happy that I was able to honour it .. … shhhh … not to be discussed with all and sundry .. ok ..more on this later in the day .. if in good mood after the IPL final .. MI playing CSK .. a tough one .”Amitabh Bachchan
Couple of days back, Emraan Hashmi had shared his excitement about working with Bachchan in a social media post.
“One more off the bucket list as I start shooting for a mystery thriller #Chehre with the legendary @SrBachchan, produced by @anandpandit63 and directed by #RumiJaffery,” he tweeted.
“An uncanny coincidence: yesterday was my first scene with Mr Bachchan and in the course of our conversation just realised that yesterday was also 46 years of #zanjeer a film in which my grandmom played a small role as his mother,” he added.
Directed by Rumi Jaffery, the film also stars Kriti Kharbanda, Rhea Chakraborty, Siddhanth Kapoor, Dritman Chakroborthy and Raghubir Yadav.
Chehre is slated to release in theatres on 21 February, 2020.
