Dharmendra played Alibaba in Umesh Mehra’s “Alibaba Aur Chalis Chor”, Amitabh was an arabesque do-gooder in Shashi Kapoor’s “Ajooba”, Dharmendra and Jeetendra were dressed as Roman gladiators in Manmohan Desai’s “Dharam Veer”.
Now, It’s the turn of Riteish Deshmukh to play Alladin, a fantasy character with Amitabh Bachchan playing the magical genie.
“Sujoy told me I was his first and only choice to play Aladdin. That made me happy. It’s not often than one gets a chance to be in a huge fantasy like this, and that too with Amitabh as your co-star,” Riteish said excitedly.
