Amitabh Bachchan began shooting for the sequel of his 2008 film Bhootnath at Film City yesterday

Big B was spotted with a 'maintain dead silence' placard on the sets. Producers Bhushan Kumar and Abhay Chopra were present for the first shot of the film which is directed by Nitesh Tiwari.

Bhootnath Returns takes on the after-life and Bachchan seemed to be in a spiritual mode ahead of his 71st birthday on October 11. He was heard talking to Bhushan Kumar for a while including giving some life lessons. Is there another film brewing in the future?
