Mumbai: Although Amitabh Bachchan teamed up with some of the best actors in the just-released Eklavya, it is Vidya Balan who has impressed him the most.
"I've a special soft corner for her. She's absolutely marvellous and so wonderfully natural. She's so endearing to watch on screen," Amitabh said in an interview.
"When I saw her in Parineeta for the first time in Amsterdam, I wanted to look only at her and nobody else on screen, with all due respects to the rest of the cast."
Eklavya got a lukewarm response and critics were not too happy with the length of the film (two hours) but the actor defends it saying, "You don't need too much time to spread out a dramatic thriller. Every film has its own rhythm."
Off late, Bachchan has been sporting black sunglasses while making public appearances. On being asked the reason for the ‘no eye contact’, Bachchan said, Ram Gopal Varma’s Sholay is responsible for it.
“I had been shooting the whole time for Ram Gopal Varma's Sholay. The role of Gabbar requires me to wear contact lenses. These left me with blood-shot eyes and no choice but to wear sunglasses,” he said.
Commenting upon the speculations surrounding the wedding date of Abhishek-Aishwarya marriage, Bachchan said, “We're still in discussion. As soon as we firm in, we'll get them married.”
