That's the spirit!

Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan do not exchange any dialogue in Ravi Chopra's Bhoothnath, since Big B plays an eerie ghost who SRK can't see

SRK with Ravi Chopra on the sets of Bhoothnath

Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan don't exchange any dialogue in Ravi Chopra's Bhoothnath. The duo, who are not known to be overly fond of each other, hardly share any screen space too, except for the climax sequence in the supernatural film. If sources are to be believed, it may be a conscious move on the part of the production house to avoid any friction between the actors.

Considering that Big B plays a ghost in the film, it has been relatively easy for the makers to tweak the screenplay. Apparently, mortal beings cannot see Bhoothnath (Bachchan) and so SRK will conveniently see through his fellow colleague in the film. Director Vivek Sharma explains, "We don't have elaborate sequences where Mr Bachchan and Shah Rukh strike up a conversation. Mr Bachchan plays a ghost and most human beings can't see him, except for the child protagonist."

The duo is yet to shoot their respective sequences. Apparently, Bachchan has put his foot down and told the production house that he will face the camera only after son Abhishek's wedding. Earlier too, the actor had delayed the schedule due to mother Teji Bachchan's ill-health. However, producer Ravi Chopra is optimistic about completing the film by June-July. "Mr Bachchan will not shoot for a month as he is busy with the wedding preparations. But that won't cause any delay. We will shoot in back-to-back schedules, in June and July," Ravi Chopra says.

The plot has SRK and Juhi Chawla playing a couple who move to Goa with their son. The kid befriends an eerie spirit, Bhoothnath. An expensive set will be erected at Film City where the next schedule will be shot.

* We don't have elaborate sequences where Mr Bachchan and Shah Rukh strike up a conversation –– Vivek Sharma
