Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap's short story in "Bombay Talkies", based on an ardent fan's wish to meet Amitabh Bachchan, will have a special song dedicated to the megastar.
The 70-year-old actor, who will be seeing playing himself in the movie, has a tradition of fans gathering outside his house on Sundays and the song will be performed by a flash mob of 60 people outside his house.
"Bachchan will play a cameo in the film. There is a surprise in store for him where a flash mob of 60 Bachchans (artistes dressed and masked like Bachchan) will launch the song in front of his home," a spokesperson of the movie said.
"Bombay Talkies" celebrates 100 years of Indian cinema and is a collection of four short films, directed by Dibakar Banerjee, Zoya Akhtar, Karan Johar and Kashyap.
