😆 Press conference to Baz Luhrmann infront of Big B:

Amitabh Bachchan doesn't looks like a Jew so why the hell did you cast him?

My take on it was that they smiled at the Bollywood vs Hollywood question. I think Amitabh handled himself very well.

Actually because in the book AB Sr. character is an Eastern European Jew.

Why was he cast as an Eastern European Jew when he clearly does not look like one?

Most European Jews I have seen in New York City are white skinned and are generally indistinguishable from other white Europeans. I can understand if AB played an Indian Jew but playing an European white Jew is stretching it beyond imagination.

I recall Russel peters's joke here.

Terrorists hate America but Indians hate Indians.

I have never seen the enthusiasm among other nationals to bring some one down of them who didnt do any thing illegal. Hate is priceless among indians.😆
