Amitabh Bachchan To Have Real Footballers As Co-Stars In Nagraj Manjule’s ‘Jhund’

Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan will work with Sairat director Nagraj Manjule for the very first time in Jhund, in which he will be playing the character of renowned football coach Vijay Barse, the man behind the Slum Soccer campaign that brought children from the slums on the field for a better life.

And now, we have heard that the Big B will have real footballers as his co-stars in the film. Nagaraj will take the help of many real-life members of Barse’s Slum Soccer organisation too, who will play roles in Jhund and be seen on the screen with Amitabh. Interestingly, the Big B used to play football a lot when he was in Kolkata before becoming an actor.

Bachchan will be next seen in Thugs Of Hindostan.
