Farhan Akhtar says Big B’s aura influenced him

In the forthcoming ‘Wazir’, Farhan Akhtar will be sharing the screen for the first time with Amitabh Bachchan. Akhtar says that Bachchan’s aura was enough.

Talking in an interview with Deccan Chronicle, Akhtar said, “It�۪s easy to say that I was influenced by his aura. The innumerable readings we did at his house had helped until the day we went onto the sets and wore make-up. But then, after the shoot started, it took some time for us to normalise, but thereafter, there was no looking back.”

He also spoke about who he thinks was behind his multi talents, “Apart from my parents, who have always supported and allowed Zoya and I in whatever creative field we were interested in, I would credit the environment to which I have been a part of from my earlier days. I owe it to all those people who motivated and inspired me.”

‘Wazir’ will the 2016’s first release on 8th January.
