Amitabh wrote, “.. the Ganga provokes divinity .. embraces the soul in a way no other can .. and emotes in a manner unknown to mankind .. we see, we hear we know but we do not …”

The veteran actor has been sharing pictures from his shoots. Recently, he shared several photos of himself including a few with actor Rashmika Mandanna. He wrote in his blog, “and in the company of ‘Pushpa’ …!!!”

Meanwhile, apart from Goodbye, Amitabh will be seen in Brahmastra, co-starring Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt. He also has Runway 34, and The Intern remake in his pipeline.

Amitabh was last seen in the recently released film, Jhund. Directed by Nagraj Manjule, the film is the story of the real-life Vijay Barse, who pioneered Slum Soccer in India. Amitabh essayed the role of football coach Vijay, who inspired slum children to take up the game.

The Hindustan Times review read, “Jhund is an entertainer of a different breed. A mix of sports and social drama, the film’s is about how Vijay spots a bunch of youngsters in neighbouring slum, playing with a plastic barrel, and their potential to do better in life rather than stay drowned in crimes in Nagpur’s underbelly.”
