GREAT MOVE TO BUY PEACE IN TINSEL TOWN?
There has been happening an interesting thing in the tinsel town. Amitabh Bachchan has been offered a role in Sajid Nadiadwala's next film to be directed by Siddharth Anand. The interesting part is that Sajid is the most dear and close friend of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray who has only recently accused Amitabh Bachchan of being partial to his home state of Uttar Pradesh in preference to his state of residence (Maharashtra). If Big B were to accept the role, he would actually be doing a film for Raj's buddy Sajid. Isn't this move to broker peace between him and Raj Thackeray? Incidentally, Sajid is trying to rope in his another favorite star Salman Khan with Amitabh.
