Mumbai: Director R. Balki's next project, starring Amitabh Bachchan and Dhanush, has finally been titled ‘Shamitabh’.
The movie also marks the Bollywood debut of Akshara Haasan, younger daughter of actor Kamal Haasan.
Interestingly, 'Shamitabh' sounds very familiar to Big B's name. The megastar recently tweeted the film's name in his own voice.

"Right now, I'm enjoying watching the lethal combo of the intensity of Amitabh Bachchan, the intelligence of Dhanush and the innocence of Akshara in action daily,” he added.
Balki and Amitabh have earlier teamed up to create hits like 'Cheeni Kum' and 'Paa'. Let's see what magic the pair creates in 'Shamitabh'.
