A still from Shamitabh's second trailer
The just-released second trailer of Shamitabh features Amitabh Bachchan as Dhanush's aide in the film. Mr Bachchan is shown lip syncing for Dhanush, who plays a speech-challenged actor in the film.
The second trailers makes the interdependence of both characters its focus.
When Dhanush says into a microphone on stage, "Only the media can create a rift between a man's face and his voice," the voice is not his own but Mr Bachchan's.
The two characters are also seen turning bitter in the film with Mr Bachchan's character saying "What are you without me?" in one of the scenes.
While Akshara Haasan plays a director in Shamitabh, Dhanush plays an actor who rises to stardom with the help of Mr Bachchan.
