“The medium of films itself is exciting. It's such an interesting and creative journey that all of us take. Whenever a new film or new work comes my way, it interests me to know what it involves, what would be my character and what the story would be, i am always eager to listen to new ideas. This keeps me going,” the legendary actor exclusively told Pinkvilla. Chehre will be the first big ticket entertainer for Amitabh Bachchan since the world was hit by Covid-19 pandemic in March 2020.
