Amitabh Bachchan to essay alcoholic in 'Shamitabh'

The megastar Amitabh Bachchan had essayed the role of an alcoholic on the silver screen in many films like 'Sharaabi', 'Amar Akbar Anthony' and 'Black'. Now, Big B is going to do something similar again. Reportedly, Amitabh Bachchan will portray the role of an alcoholic in the forthcoming venture 'Shamitabh'.

It is being said that Amitabh will be seen as a full-blown boozer in 'Shamitabh'. The director R. Balki said that Big B's act of a drunkard in this flick will be very diferent from what he did in the earlier movies.

'Shamitabh' releases on February 6.
