Sujoy Ghosh�s Aladdin was supposed to release last month, but was postponed because Amitabh Bachchan, who plays Genie, could not find the time to shoot a few of his scenes. Now, after a three-month delay, the production house has announced that shooting will begin today.
�Yes, Mr. Bachchan has finally given us time. We were worried about the Bachchan dates. Because of his health and his other commitments, the film was pushed back.�
Amitabh was admitted to hospital on his birthday (11th October) and after a month�s rest, he started shooting first for Teen Patti.
Director Sujoy Ghosh said, �I was not at all worried about the completion of the film. Amitji is a very professional actor and I knew he�d keep his promise. Last October, things didn�t work out because of his health problem. It�s really great to see a senior actor get back to shape so quickly.
�We wanted to release the film during the Christmas season. But now we are planning on releasing it during the summer vacation (April-May, 09).�
Big B has also confirmed the shoot. In his blog, he writes, �The shooting of Aladdin beckons tomorrow (2nd Jan, 09). A song and the last days of the film. Shiamak Davar and his crew. Disciplined and worthy.�
