Indian film acting legend Amitabh Bachchan has shot a cameo in the upcoming sequel ‘Fakt Purusho Maate’.
The Gujarati film is a sequel to the 2022 hit ‘Fakt Mahilao Maate’, in which he had a lead role. In that film, a young man discovers that he can read the minds of all women and decides to use this power to help others with their relationship problems.
The sequel is a family drama that focuses on gender equality and conflict between two generations. Bachchan, who is revered in the Indian film industry, will play God in the film. This is not the first time that Bachchan has played God; he previously played the role in “God Tussi Great Ho” (2008).
“Fakt Purusho Maate” is produced by Anand Pandit and Vaishal Shah and written and directed by Jay Bodas and Parth Trivedi. The cast also includes Yash Soni, Mitra Gadhvi, Esha Kansara and Darshan Jariwala.
Pandit previously produced ‘Chehre’ (2021), starring Bachchan and Emraan Hashmi.
Pandit said, “We shot with Mr. Bachchan on June 6 and everyone on set was impressed by his energy, dedication, legendary professionalism and his larger-than-life presence. He was also a very special part of ‘Fakt Mahilao Maate’ and to be honest, it’s hard for me to imagine a project without him. Anyone who has worked with him once wants to work with him again and again.”
Shah added: “Mr. Bachchan plays a very interesting role in this sequel to ‘Fakt Mahilao Maate’ and is in a way central to the way the story unfolds. His enduring fame is a phenomenon that cannot be put into words and this film will once again demonstrate why he remains a legend.”
Bachchan will currently be seen in ‘The Umesh Chronicles’, which is currently on the festival circuit. He is one of the main characters in the science fiction epic ‘Kalki 2898 AD’, which will be released on June 27.
The release of “Fakt Purusho Maate” is scheduled for the end of August, during the Janmashtami holiday.
