| Jiah
khan is an eighteen year old girl who got a role
in Ram Gopal Verma’s film, Nishabd. Bachchan is
the leading male actor in the film. Even though
Jiah was born and raised in London, she managed to
speak Hindi in the film. Her mother, Rabia was
also an actor and is from lucknow so she was able
to teach her daughter how to speak Hindi. According
to Jiah, Amitabh is very handsome and hot who is
not only helped her in acting, but also made her
comfortable during the making of the film. In the
film, she is playing a character of a teenage girl
who falls in love with a much older man. She
thinks she can relate herself to her character as
it is very normal for a young girl to fall in love
with an older guy. |

film’s subject deals with the concept of an old
man intensely reciprocating the love of a much
younger girl. The film has Bachchan playing the
role of a 54 year-old married man who falls for a
girl his daughter’s age and who is 36 years his
junior. Varma who has co-written the film says,
“It is important to realize that feelings
don’t age, human bodies do. Any man could be
attracted to any woman. Romance between an old man
and a young woman is actually quite prevalent in
our society.”

The
female lead opposite Amitabh will have newcomer,
Jia play the protagonist. Varma claims that a new
and unknown face will increase the
‘believability’ aspect in the situation. The
story of ‘Nishabd’ will revolve around
Bachchan’s life and how this young girl enters
his life. The film will not have any songs.
The concept of an elderly man being attracted to a
younger woman has definitely been tried and tested
a couple of times in bollywood. Yash Chopra’s
Lamhe, Subhash Ghai’s Joggers Park and a few
other films have attempted this subject before.
Nabokov’s novel, ‘Lolita’ has also seen two
extremely successful adaptations in Hollywood. |

Amitabh
Bachchan is extremely excited about his role in
this film. Director Ram Gopal Varma claims,
“Nabokov’s ‘Lolita’ is one of a 44-
year-old man indulging in sexual fantasy and
infatuated by a 14 year old girl, While my film is
actually an intense love story, which is appealing
to the senses.”
Amitabh Bachchan is all set to play the role of an
old married man who falls in love with an
18-year-old girl. To be directed by Ram Gopal
Varma, Nishabd, will be released in September this
year. Although rumours have been doing the rounds
that Nishabd is yet another adaptation of Vladimir
Nabokov's Lolita, Ram Gopal Varma has denied this
very firmly. He insists that Nishabd is an
original story conceived and written by him. He
calls it’s an intense love story between an
older man and a younger girl. |

There
are no steamy scenes in the film; he clarified
"The thought is erotic and there is a strong
undercurrent of sexuality, but it has not been
done at the expense of putting Mr Bachchan in a
demeaning light." The film also stars
Revathy, Rukhsar and Aftab Shivdasani.
The story of ‘Nishabd’ will revolve
around Bachchan’s life and how this young girl
enters his life Ram Gopal Varma says” Bodies
age, but feelings don’t. Older men get attracted
to and fall in love with younger girls but because
of their position and maturity, cannot do
anything. It’s the story of a man caught between
his rationality and the strength of his feelings
towards her."
While the concept of an older man falling in love
with a younger girl has been explored by
Bollywood--Seema, Lamhe, and Jogger's Park come to
mind---none of them have really worked in India. |

Even Jeremy Irons, who played the lead role in a
Hollywood adaptation of Lolita, has not quite
recovered from the role. It has left a lasting
impression on the audience overriding all his other
work. Of course, Amitabh Bachchan is not at a stage in
his career where he need worry about audience
acceptance--he didn't care with Boom and no one's said
a word about his smooch scene with Rani Mukherjee in
Black--but such is a charisma of Big B. Nishabd will
be another jewel in Amitabh Bachchan crown. |
