Amitabh Bachchan will play gangster in Ram Gopal Varma’s Department

The cold war between Amitabh Bachchan and Ram Gopal Varma is over finally. The acclaimed director will cast the senior actor in his film Department. It was earlier rumored that Amitabh Bachchan has walked out of the Ram Gopal Varma film. However, with things settling down, things are returning to normalcy.

If those reports were believed, then actually Amitabh Bachchan had walked out of Department, when he came to know that it was the director who had brought disrepute to his son. However, things took a cozy turn when Ram Gopal Varma visited the Big B’s residence on Wednesday night.

The very next morning, he ‘exposed’ Big B’s role in the film (well, finally he did expose someone’s role). He said that Amitabh would be playing the role of a politician who was a former gangster. RGV said, “Imagine the Agneepath character turning over a new leaf and yet to have the same hard intensity and been there done that know-how”.

RGV did not forget to mention that his respect towards the Bachchan family was one of its kinds. He respected the family a lot. He even went on to add the reason for not having Abhishek in Department. It was all due to the date issues, he said.
