"The lead in my film Kamagata Maru can be played by no other actor except Mr Bachchan," she says emotionally. "The hero of my most ambitious and expensive film has to be a man of substance stature and wisdom. I can't think of anyone else but Mr Bachchan."
In the meanwhile Deepa has finalized the rest of the of her cast. Seema Biswas who's received the maximum raves in the international press for Water, and John Abraham will play key roles in Kamagata Maru.
