Bachchan downplayed his debut, calling it a blink-and-miss-it role
It's not out until Christmas but that hasn't stopped Amitabh Bachchan starting the promotion for his Hollywood debut, Baz Lhurman's The Great Gatsby. The trailer released this week, with stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire and Carey Mulligan featured prominently.
Bachchan however downplayed his debut, calling it a blink-and-miss-it role -- not that he minds.
"I play Meyer Wolfshiem for about a few seconds. yaa. by the time you look down on your popcorn to pick another morsel, I'd be gone from the film. he he. kinda short service," Bachchan wrote on his blog.
The movie is based on the American author F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic.
"Mr Leonardo de Caprio — he be soo gorgeous, no wonder all the ladies flockin' to him he be Gatsby, and spiderman Tobey Maguire be his good friend. But sitting in the frame talkin' to spiderman and D [Leonardo], was pretty darn [sic]," Bachchan added.
