National Award winning star Dhanush who made his big Bollywood debut in the 100 crore grossing Raanjhanaa, will next be seen in R.Balki's SHAMITABH alongside superstar Amitabh Bachchan - Ironically , Dhanush who is a huge fan of Mr.Bachchan was ecstatic to work with the Bollywood heavyweight ever since he made his inroad into the Hindi film industry .

Very few know that Dhanush's first shot for Raanjhanaa was with the iconic image of Mr.Bachchan in Coolie (one of his personal favourites) and director Aanand L Rai who shares a warm equation with the actor always felt that Dhanush was meant to work with Amitabh Bachchan at some point in his career and Shamitabh was a spectacular coincidence of something he had foreseen for the young star.

Says Aanand L Rai, "As Raanjhanaa was Dhanush's first film in Bollywood so I wanted to give him a complete feel of this industry.And so we decided to do his first photoshoot against a portrait of the Icon of Bollywood Mr.Bachchan. While he never imagined that he would work with this legend in his second Hindi film ,it was something I wished and hoped for him and it has come true."
