Film-makers to play cameos in Shamitabh

Dhanush and Amitabh Bachchan in Shamitabh

Film-maker R. Balki has roped in directors Rajkumar Hirani, Gauri Shinde, Karan Johar, Mahesh Bhatt, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra and Anurag Basu along with lyricist and writer Javed Akhtar and producers Boney Kapoor and Ekta Kapoor to do cameos in his film, Shamitabh.
“They are making cameo appearances and are all playing themselves, like Boney is playing a producer and Javed a writer. But they do not come together but will make appearances in different parts of the film. Like some for a celebration in the film industry, some for a meeting with someone and so on. I have shot with all of them and they were all extremely cooperative,” said Balki who has wrapped up the shooting of the film except for a song which will be filmed with Dhanush, one of the principal characters besides Amitabh Bachchan and Akshara Haasan.
