Mumbai, Sep 12: Now that Amitabh Bachchan has agreed to act in his Hollywood debut ‘Thr Great Gatsby’, the legendary actor says that his role in the movie is a mere friendly appearence.
Big B has been friendly with Luhmann since the director met him the previous year during his visit to India.
Bachchan wrote on his bolg, “My participation in Baz Luhrmann's film 'The Great Gatsby' is a mere one scene appearance as a friendly gesture. Baz Luhrmann during his private visit to India last year, had dropped by my office to meet me and presented me with some paintings of a prominent painter that was accompanying him. He called last month and wondered if I would do this small role in his film and I agreed. It is a gesture. I have refused any remuneration on this too.”
‘The Great Gatsby’ stars Leonardo Dicaprio as Gatsby, Carey Mulligan, Daisy Buchanan and Toby Maguire from ‘Spiderman’.
