The producer collaborated with the megastar for her upcoming film Goodbye. An elated Ekta Kapoor has described the journey from being a die-hard admirer of Amitabh Bachchan to finally working with him. She posted a few photographs on Instagram to share her excitement with the world. The first pic shows a young Ekta smiling as her father Jeetendra and Amitabh Bachchan hold her hands. She captioned it, "This is how it started." In the next frame, the movie title was revealed, "this is how it's (hopefully) going. Finally, working with the only actor I've been waiting to work with...Who I spent my childhood obsessing over." Ekta could not decide whether to address her idol as "uncle" or "sir."
Ekta also uploaded stills of the clapboard and rituals performed on day one. Tahira Kashyap, Mukesh Chhabra were among the first ones to react to the news with emojis. The movie is directed by Vikas Bahl. It also features South actress Rashmika Mandanna. Goodbye will be Rashmika's second Bollywood film after Mission Majnu, opposite Sidharth Malhotra.
