Is Amitabh Bachchan getting the script of Bhootnath

The long delay in B R Films's Bhootnath starring Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Juhi Chawla has resulted in many stories being circulated about the ongoing war between SRK and Amitabh Bachchan. One of the key reasons for the film's delay seems to stem from the fact that Amitabh Bachchan is yet to shoot for the film. There are rumours that Big B has asked the director to rework the script as he isn't quite satisfied with the way his role has shaped up.

The director of Bhootnath, Vivek Sharma, says, "Amitabh Bachchan has not yet shot for the film. We are facing some problems with the dates. Amitji has not asked us to rework the script. I agree that the film has been delayed by three months but that is largely due to Abhishek's wedding and Amitji's commitment to Ram Gopal Varma's Sholay. He has a different get-up in Sholay and also in our film. It would have been difficult for him to get into two different get-ups simultaneously and so Bhootnath has been delayed. I am aware of all these rumours about Mr Bachchan wanting his role improved because of the war between Shah Rukh Khan and him. But trust me, I have seen how much SRK respects Mr. Bachchan. Mr. Bachchan's professionalism is legendary. I have been shooting with Shah Rukh and I will start shooting with Amitji in July."

However, our source informs, "There is definitely some tension, and that's why Amitabh Bachchan has not yet started work on Bhootnath. In fact, Mr Bachchan has been busy shooting for other films that he had signed after Bhootnath. Bhootnath was supposed to be shot in December 2006. However, the film kept getting delayed. Amitji is yet to give a green signal to the film and he has asked both Ravi Chopra and Vivek to rework the script. It is a known fact that inspite of being projected as an Amitabh film, Shah Rukh has an equally strong role, in terms of the length and prominence. And that's the real reason for the film's delay."
