After sensibly playing the role of a teacher of a blind girl in ‘Black', superstar Amitabh Bachchan will now essay the role of a blind lawyer in the film ‘Zamaanat'.

"I will be playing the role of a blind advocate who seeks justice for a young innocent man facing charges of murder," says Bachchan.

The movie has been directed by S.Raamanathan, who considers Amitabh Bachchan his lucky mascot. Raamanathan has a number of biggies to his credit like Mahaan, Giraftaar and Gangaa Jamunaa Saraswati.

The film stars the Big B, Karishma Kapoor and Arshad Warsi. It pairs Amitabh Bachchan and Vijayashanti for the first time. It took a seven long years to make the movie, but the maker is hopeful that the delay will not affect the film's prospects as he feels that it is a very good story.

"Every story should touch one's heart and mind. This is a good story. There is no vulgarity and nudity," said Raamanathan.

He believes that the sequences between Amitabh and Vijayashanti and also those between Karisma Kapoor and the Big B are the USP of Zamaanat, which will definitely catch the viewer unawares.

Years ago, Raamanathan had directed Amitabh Bachchan in the Bollywood classic ‘Bombay To Goa', which catapulted Bachchan to stardom. The film is slated for release in June.
