Why is Amitabh Bachchan missing from ‘Wazir’ promotions?

The Year 2016 is set to begin with Amitabh Bachchan and Farhan Akhtar starrer ‘Wazir’ which will hit the theatres on January 7. The film is based on a life of a wheel-chair bound chess champion and an APS officer. Amitabh Bachchan is the chess master whereas Farhan Akhtar is APS officer. The story supposedly revolves around an incident which affected both of  them. Now, the mystery on what happened, how did it happen and what were the effects would only reveal once the movie hits the theatres.

Promotions being one of the important parts of filmmaking the team of ‘Wazir’ is on its toes carrying out the promotional activities. But, there’s one person who completely out of the picture  these days despite playing an important role in ‘Wazir’ is Mr. Amitabh Bachchan. Big B has been giving a miss to the promotional events of the film reason being that he is busy with his other commitments. Amitabh Bachchan has many films in the pipeline along with his Television Reality show. For a good time, Big B was away from the city as he had to shoot for his upcoming film ‘Te3n’ in Kolkata. So we speculated that his busy schedule is keeping him away from ‘Wazir’s’ promotions. But, there’s another twist to the story. A source revealed that Amitabh Bachchan is unhappy with the way Farhan Akhtar has been given more prominence in the film. Therefore, it seems Big B didn’t bother to manage his dates and didn’t allocate much of his time to the promotional campaign.

Well, this could be one of the reasons but, the makers rubbished all these rumors. They said that Amitabh Bachchan went out of his way to do this film. Remember, how Mr. Bachchan came running to shoot a song with Farhan leaving his ‘Te3n’ shooting in between? So, there’s not much of a substance behind this story.
