Big B on a break? Going to LA

Big B on a break? Going  to LABuzz is Amitabh Bachchan may well be flying to La for treatment and will not take in any new acting assignment till September

Big B is saying a large no to all acting assignments that come his way before September this year.

Reason being that the actor will soon take off for L. a. for treatment. Our sources reveal that this decision was taken after he underwent a CT scan at a city hospital last month.

Well-placed industry sources attribute the alarm to the pain that troubled Bachchan on April 9, two months after he underwent abdominal surgery at another Mumbai-based hospital.

“It was the primary time because the operation in February that Bachchan saab felt such severe pain and needed to opt for a CT scan soon afterwards,” said a source.

While the hospital’s medical superintendent had reportedly said that it was a routine examination and was associated with previous health conditions, our source asserts that the 69-year-old actor isn’t taking it lightly.

“It is assumed that Bachchan isn't doing any film before September as he’s going to Los Angeles, in May-June, where he'll undergo a couple of tests and the desired treatment to be doubly sure,” stated our source, adding that just a handful of closest family friends are within the know.

One for beta

However, one acting assignment that Bachchan is alleged to have confirmed before September is Rohit Shetty’s forthcoming film with Ajay Devgn and Abhishek Bachchan.

As our source states, “That’s also because Abhishek is acting within the film and has an excessively strong role in it. And Ajay, who’s producing it, is like family.

Besides, it’s not likely to be stressful as Bachchan saab’s part can be shot in precisely a few days.”

What’s next?

Post his treatment it is still seen which film Bachchan chooses as his comeback project.

Ram Gopal Varma is planning to reprise the nature of Subhash Nagre within the third Sarkar film while Shoojit Sircar is scripting his next for the actor after their Johnny Mastana hit a roadblock a few years ago.

We have also learnt that the channel and producers of his successful quiz show are planning its next season, scheduled to start out later this September.
