No Amitabh Bachchan in 'Zanjeer' Remake

                                                                                                          News was abuzz that superstar Amitabh Bachchan will be featuring in a cameo role in Apoorva Lakhani's new version of 'Zanjeer'. Apparently Big B, who played the iconic cop Vijay in Prakash Mehra's Zanjeer in 1973, was supposed to play the role of a Senior Police officer in the remake. However, according to our sources, the B-town superstar reported to have turned down the offer to make an appearance in the film. The entire 'Zanjeer' Team were very keen to get Big B to do a cameo role in the remake, but of late Big B finally cleared the vibes. When contacted, director Apoorva Lakhia said, "Although it would be an honour for any filmmaker to have India's most iconic actor in his film, Amitji won't be playing a role in Zanjeer." Incidentally Bachchan has praised the first look trailer of the film by calling 'Smashing'.
 The latest 'Zanjeer' Remake has a change in the plot keeping the new era in mind. The latest Zanjeer revolves around 'Oil Mafia' played by none other Prakash Raj and his war against ACP Vijay which is played by debutante Ram Charan Teja. The Zanjeer Remake also features Priyanka Chopra and Sanjay Dutt in lead roles.
