It's his debut international project in an acting career of four decades. And even if he has a blink-and-you-miss-it role in The Great Gatsby, Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan is happy about sharing the frame with Hollywood biggies Leonardo Di Caprio and Tobey Maguire.
"I play Meyer Wolfsheim for about a few seconds... yaa...by the time you look down on your popcorn to pick another morsel, I'd be gone from the film... he he... kinda short service," the actor posted on his blog bigb.bigadda.com.
Though for a short while, Mr Bachchan will share screen space with Hollywood stars Leonardo Di Caprio and Tobey Maguire.

But sittin' in the frame talkin' to spiderman and D (Leonardo), was pretty darn okaaaay ! whadya' say, me members of the extended families !! But they be nice and polite people, I'll say that .. nice and polite," he added.
