    Amitabh Bachchan wins over Hollywood critics in ‘The Great Gatsby’

    MUMBAI: Bollywood‘s icon Amitabh Bachchan recently won over Hollywood‘s most renowned critics, with his special appearance in the film ‘The Great Gatsby‘ directed by Auteur Baz Luhrmann.

    According to the sources the liveliest work in the film by far comes from two actors with only a few minutes of screen time between them: the agile, long-limbed newcomer Elizabeth Debicki as gabby golf pro Jordan Baker, and, in a single scene that marks his belated Hollywood debut, the living legend Bachchan as the flamboyant Jewish gambler.

    As per the media reports Big B himself was ever his modest self when he didn‘t charge anything for the film.A source close to Bachchan says, "He‘s extremely delighted with the way the film has shaped up. And even though his role may not be as big, he has left a mark and in his own style has made an impact."

    The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire and Carey Mulligan as main leads.
