Naseeruddin Shah has demanded equal footage time as Amitabh Bachchan in Sujoy Ghosh’s next film ‘Badla’.

Sources say that Shah was reluctant to be part of the film initially as he may get drowned out by the star power of Bachchan, however, Ghosh has ensured him that this will not be the case.

A source told Mumbai Mirror, “Naseer is happy with the idea of sharing screen space with Amitji. But he has made it clear that he will be part of Sujoy’s dream team only if his role is justified by the script. And that means, equal footage.”

Ghosh has already made amendments to the script after Shah made objections to the first draft. Ghosh said, “When you have your dream team in a project, you’ve got to make sure it’s a kickass script. That’s all I’m focusing on now. Naseer Saab has given me until August to finish writing Badla.”

‘Badla’ also stars Vidya Balan, his lucky mascot from ‘Kahaani’ (2012).
