Neena Gupta Was Recommended by Amitabh Bachchan

The  cast  of  Vikas Bahl’s  Goodbye just got  more interesting. Besides Amitabh Bachchan and  Rashmika  Mandannna  who play father and  daughter, the  incredible Neena Gupta  has now  joined the  cast as Mr Bachchan’s wife.

Apparently  on  Mr Bachchan’s suggestion.

Says a source close to Mr Bachchan,“In recent years  he has been  progressively feeling the  scarcity  of  co-stars. Actresses like Jaya Prada  and Dimple Kapadia  have been paired with Bachchan Saab once too often. He  needed  a fresh co-star, and Neena  Gupta seems  just what  the  doctors ordered.”

Apparently  Mr Bachchan  saw Neena’s career-changing  performance in Badhai  Ho and had  decided to she would be  his co-star soon.

“That  time has come now. Mr Bachchan and Neenaji would  be the hottest autumnal  couple  since Clint Eastwood  and Meryl Streep  in  Bridges Of Madison County,” a friend of Mr  Bachchan  enthuses.

Neena says, “I am very  excited and nervous  and happy about working with Mr Bachchan.”
