Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachachan hasn't got any formal invitation to play Rabindranath Tagore, but says he would love to play the Nobel laureate if given a chance.
"I have been reading in newspapers that somebody has made a formal proposal (to play Tagore). I have been getting some messages from other people. I would be very honoured to portray the role. But no formal proposal has been made till now," Amitabh said here Wednesday.
There have been reports in B-town that Bachchan will portray Tagore in a Bengali film called The Sound of Silence, based on the poet's life.
The Big B, along with filmmaker Prakash Jha, was in the city to promote their forthcoming movie Aarakshan, a socio-political drama which deals with the controversial policy of caste based reservations in government jobs and educational institutions.
