It may seem like actor Amitabh Bachchan has been there and done that for every kind of role that comes his
way. The actor at 60 plus has tried his hand at all kinds of role, negative roles, singing, dancing, music
albums, television etc.
In fact Amitabh made a comeback with a second innings in Bollywood with
game show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati' on television. And now the actor is all set to enthrall his fans once more
with a stint on television. The actor confirms that he will soon be returning to TV.
Amitabh Bachchan says, "I'm definitely doing television again. Talks are on with several channels and I plan to
take up one or maybe more of these offers shortly." So right now several channels are scrambling onto the Big
B's doorstep with unique scripts for him to read and choose.
So which channel will bag a contract with the Big B remains to be seen? And the opportunities for Amitabh are
limitless and he says, "It could be another non-fictional show but I'm not ruling out fiction either.
I've a
whole bunch of proposals from a whole bunch of channels." So it maybe likely that the audience may get to
view their favourite hero in a ‘K' soap or another game show.
Many Bollywood actors have already
made their mark on television, Shahrukh Khan, Raveena Tandon etc. So it looks like our tele stars are going to
have tough competition coming their way.
Meanwhile, Amitabh has no plans to retire from Bollywood and will simultaneously balance both his film and
television career. Offers from Bollywood keep pouring in and there are still umpteen directors waiting to work
with him.
Amitabh was recently at the Iifa event in Yorkshire as he is the brand ambassador. His
entire family, daughter Shweta, son Abhi and new daughter-in-law Ash were all seen having a great time at the
event.
