Will Brosnan say yes to Teen Patti with Big B?

After Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger sharing screen space with Akshay Kumar in Kambakht Ishq, it is now former James Bond, Pierce Brosnan’s turn to share screen space with Amitabh Bachchan in Teen Patti.
“The casting of Mr Brosnan is not yet confirmed as we are still in talks with him. The film’s shooting is almost done and if he says yes then the shooting will take place in the UK and he will be doing a special cameo at the start of the movie. Amitabh Bachchan has finished shooting for his role,” says a source close to Ambika Hinduja, the film’s producer.

He adds, “So far the film has shaped up very nicely and we are hoping for the best as this film was stalled for a year because of many reasons the first being the unavailability of Big B’s dates, then changes in the cast and Big B’s illness. Thankfully, the film has been shot now and we are looking at a year end release.”

When contacted, Ambika’s sister said, “This is not true. If we sign him we will definitely announce it.”
Teen Patti is rumoured to be inspired by Kevin Spacey starrer 21, which was released in India in 2008. The whole plot is the same and the only difference is that 21 was shot in Las Vegas while Teen Patti has been shot in Mumbai and the prestigious Flame College in Pune. Big B steps into Kevin Spacey’s shoes as a professor who teaches his students the art of gambling. The makers of the film are denying any resemblance to 21.
The film also stars R. Madhavan, Raima Sen, Shakti Kapoor’s daughter Shraddha, Jackie Shroff and Mahesh Manjrekar. The film has Ajay Devgan, Saira Mohan, Danny Denzongpa and Sushmita Sen in cameo performances.
