Big B speaks in Bengali when in Kolkata

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan who is busy shooting with his upcoming film ‘Piku’ in Kolkata, prefers to have conversation in Bengali with director Shoojit Sircar on the sets. The actor had spent seven years of his life.
Shoojit said, “He is a kid on the sets. He converses with us in Bengali. If you present him with an idea, something of substance and importance, he will believe it”.
The director, who is also a Bengali, said he is glad that Mr Bachchan knows his mother-tongue.
Before shifting to Mumbai to join Bollywood the actor had lived in Kolkata during 1962-69. Since then he has worked with a number of Bengali film directors like Shakti Samanta, Hrishikesh Mukherjee and Rituparno Ghosh.
