After “Baghban” and “Baabul”, producer Ravi Chopra casts Amitabh Bachchan for the third time in “Bhootnath”, which will also feature Juhi Chawla in a pivotal role.

The film, which revolves around a man (Amitabh) and a child, will be the superstar’s third film in two years where his main interaction is with a child. In Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s “Black” and Apoorva Lakhia’s “Ek Ajnabee”, too, the Big B has acted with child artistes.

“It’s (the film) an interesting concept, and I couldn’t say no to Ravi. We’ve known each other from the time I did ‘Zameer’ for his banner more than three decades ago. Of course, ‘Baghban’ and ‘Baabul’ have cemented my relationship with the Chopras,” Amitabh told IANS.

“Bhootnath”, planned as a year-end quickie, will also bring Amitabh together with Juhi, who has never worked with him except for once playing his daughter - in Suneil Darshan’s “Ek Rishta”.

“Bhootnath” is being directed by Chopra’s associate Vivek Sharma.
