Amitabh Bachchan to make special appearance in R Balki’s ‘PadMan’

Filmmaker R Balki’s equation with Amitabh Bachchan goes beyond just films. ‘Cheeni Kum’ and ‘Paa’, both directed by the former that earned huge critical success, had Bachchan playing the lead roles. Even in Balki’s last directorial outing ‘Ki and Ka’ that received mixed response, the superstar made a brief appearance.

And now, Balki’s next film ‘PadMan’ will yet again have a cameo performed by Bachchan. In his blog last night, Bachchan confirmed it.

“I work tomorrow… a shoot for R Balki… for the film he does with Akshay Kumar… A special appearance for a few minutes…,” the actor wrote.

“Balki does carry his sincerity at every step of his creativity, and must have my presence in some form or another, and so here I am more of which shall come by when the act of the morrow is done,” he added.

Starring Akshay Kumar, Sonam Kapoor and Radhika Apte, the film is set to hit the screens early next year.
