The Bachchans play themselves in Ki & Ka

17 Mar 2016

R. Balki's cinema can never be considered complete until Amitabh Bachchan makes an appearance in the film. Big B has played the lead in all the films that Balki has directed so far. And now, when there was no scope for Big B to play the lead in Balki's new film Ki & Ka, Balki has scripted a specially-written cameo for Big B where he appears as himself.

Says a source, "It's a scene featuring Amitji and Jayaji playing themselves. It's brief, but, memorable scene. This time, Balki wanted both the Bachchans in his film. Jayaji had appeared in the credit titles of Balki's Paa , but, she has never been an actual part of any of his films." Incidentally, this is not the first time that Big B has played himself for Balki. In English Vinglish, which Balki produced for his wife Gauri Shinde, Bachchan had played himself, Sridevi's co-passenger in a flight to the US.
