Goodbye Producer Ekta Kapoor Says She's Been Dreaming of Working with Amitabh Bachchan Since Childhood

The trailer of the much awaited family-comedy-drama Goodbye released on Tuesday. The Vikas Bahl directorial features an assorted star cast of Amitabh Bachchan, Rashmika Mandanna, Neena Gupta, Sunil Grover, Pavail Gulati, Elli AvrRam, Sahil Mehta and Shivin Narang. It tells a heart-warming story about life, family and relationships. Ekta Kapoor, who bankrolled the film, has revealed that it was her long-pending dream to collaborate with a legendary star like Amitabh Bachchan.

During the press meet organised for the trailer launch of the film on September 6, Ekta Kapoor shared that Amitabh Bachchan has forever remained on the list of actors she wants to work with and not any Khans or anyone else. She expressed, “Since childhood, I always dreamt of working with only one person and that was Big B. As a child, I used to attend birthday parties at Amitji’s house, and Shweta (Nanda Bachchan) and Abhishek (Bachchan) are my friends. Amitabh sir once told my dad (Jeetendra) that she just sat and stared at me all evening. I don’t think I had ever wanted to work with anyone, no Khans or anyone else, just Mr Amitabh Bachchan. Finally, it happened. The experience of working on a film like this is different.”
