Nobody could recognize Amitabh Bachchan, says Shoojit Sircar

In the film Gulabo Sitabo, Amitabh Bachchan will be seen playing the role of a sharp-tongued landlord. For this role, he had to transform a lot. He donned a prosthetic nose. Now, according to reports, when the actor was shooting for the film in Lucknow, fans hardly noticed that it was indeed Bachchan. Reportedly, during his breaks in between the shoots, Big B would often take a stroll and just walk around in the lanes and mix around with the locals. The reports state that no one would recognise that it is Amitabh Bachchan, and they were clueless about him.

The reports also state that before the Lucknow film shoot, Sircar was absolutely certain that the actor will be faced by a huge mob and it will be a hindrance to the shooting process. Talking about the scenes of the film, the filmmaker said that they wanted the scenes to be authentic so they decided to shoot them in the busy and congested streets of Hazratganj. They also shot the film in the alleys of old Lucknow. The team, reportedly, would try to finish the shoot as soon as possible, so that it will not draw the crowd.

According to reports, the esteemed filmmaker further stated that very few people realised that there were people shooting a film, and almost no one realised that the old man with the big nose was Amitabh Bachchan. So, they achieved what they wanted to, and made him look and sound like Mirza, instead of Bachchan. Fans are now highly anticipating the release of this comedy-drama flick.
