Dhanush is an extremely intelligent & accomplished actor : Amitabh Bachchan

Amitabh Bachchan has revealed in a recent interview it was he who suggested Dhanush’s to Balki when they were toying around with a list of names. Apparently, it was Balki who came up with Akshara Haasan’s name for the role. “Dhanush is an extremely intelligent and accomplished actor and he is really my suggestion for the film. I felt that he was really perfect for the story. While we were battling with some names, I suggested Dhanush to Balki, who absolutely agreed that it was the correct decision. Akshara was Balki’s discovery,” says Big B.

“There is no similarity between her and Kamal. Kamal comes with exceptional qualities and his history. When you go to see his film, when he does something extraordinary, you say right, we expect this from you. Akshara is her own kid and has her own mind and is very strong,” adds Amitabh Bachchan about his working experience with Kamal and Akshara.

Shamitabh is all set for release on February 6th and the audio launch function is planned to be held in Mumbai on January 20th.
