Big B look-alike copies Ash-Abhishek love

Satyaprakash Mangtani who sports his idol's white goatee and reddish mane, though not, alas, his rangy physique, has cast Kannada hero Manie in the lead of the movie, called Kuch Na Kuch To Baat Hai.

Satyaprakash is a lyricist who has also been writing scripts as well as composing music for albums, besides being a publisher of law books. His claim to fame so far is that he resembles, if vaguely, Amitabh. In fact, Satyaprakash assures us, he is hailed as the Big B of Godrej Hills where he stays.

"I was recording Alka Yagnik for an album I wrote. After we were done, she told me the songs would fit a movie well and shouldn't be wasted on an album." This got Satyaprakash thinking and he "decided to make a film inspired by today's hot and sensational star couple Abhishek and Aishwarya."

As tribute to Bachchan, Satyaprakash is keen on releasing the movie on October 11: Amitabh's birthday. While he has cast Naveen Kohli to play one of the key roles, he is yet to find the actress who is to play Ash.

Satyaprakash does not foresee the Bachchans objecting to his movie. "When the senior B can be inspired by Haji Mastan to play his character in Deewar and the junior B has played the role of Dhirubhai Ambani in Guru, why can't I?" asks Satyaprakash, who quips that while Bachchan is the Big; he prefers to be called the Small S.

How about Big BS?

cheers
