Amitabh Bachchan refuses fees for The Great Gatsby

MUMBAI: Amitabh Bachchan has said that he will act for free in his Hollywood debut film, The Great Gatsby, that stars Leonardo DiCaprio.

Bachchan declared that he had waived his fee as he was making a “mere one scene appearance”. The actor will play Meyer Wolfsheim, a Jewish man described as a gambler in F Scott Fitzgerald‘s classic novel.

 
The Great Gatsby is the story of 1920s high society in the US, the golden age of excess before the ‘Depression‘.

The $126 million film is currently being shot in Australia.
