Barely a year ago, he was seen pedalling around in the eastern metropolis in a kurta and hat for Shoojit Sircar's "Piku". On Saturday, megastar Amitabh Bachchan was back on the road here -- this time on a scooter for Ribhu Dasgupta's "Te3N".

Donning a brown check shirt and dark brown trousers, Big B was seen kick-starting a scooter at the historic Writers' Building complex, the permanent seat of the West Bengal government.

Wearing a helmet, he rode the scooter for a few seconds for a shot.

A big circle of onlookers gathered at the venue in the central business district as the star listened to his director's instructions carefully prior to the shot.

Filmmaker Sujoy Ghosh is the creative producer of thriller "TE3N". The film also stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Vidya Balan.

In "Piku", Big B as the 70-year-old Bhashkor Banerjee, had cycled around in north Kolkata.
