Mumbai, September 25: Perhaps it takes two to tango when it comes to Amitabh Bachchan. For a key song and dance sequence in Sujoy Ghosh directed ALADIN, there is not one, but a pair of Riteish Deshmukh that is being seen.
No, Riteish doesn’t have a double role in the film, but this fun song is set in such a way that ALADIN, played by Riteish, sits and watches the proceedings passively while his alter ego, a much active and vibrant Riteish, grabs the opportunity and matches steps with ‘Genius- The Genie’ Amitabh Bachchan. The song in question? ‘Make A Wish’.
Reluctant to talk much about the sequence in the film, He said, ”I can’t reveal much about the song and why there are two of me in it. But yes, it was indeed some hard work for me to justify my presence alongside Mr. Bachchan on stage. It looks all fun when seen on screen, but how I wish I could have just stood in a corner and just watched him perform. He is just so amazing and vibrant and can put all of us from the current generation to shame.”
