The game begins in Farhan Akhtar and Amitabh Bachchan's Wazir Movie

Watch: The game begins in Farhan Akhtar and Amitabh Bachchan's 'Wazir' teaser

As one Vidhu Vinod Chopra film makes it way to the theatres, here's the teaser for another one that has just surfaced on social media. Directed by Bejoy Nambiar, 'Wazir' which was orginally titled 'Do', presents Amitabh Bachchan essaying the role of a wheelchair-ridden chess master while Farhan Akhtar is seen playing a tough cop. The one and half minute teaser begins with Bachchan's grave voice reciting the following lines:
 
"Khel Khel Mein, Khel Khel Ki, Khel Khel Ye, Aa Jayega,
Haar Jeet Se, Haar Jeet Ke, Jeet Haar Sikhayega,
Khel Khel Mein..."

 
Images of a chess peice, a knife, a special squad  are shown to us, depicting that its more than a game. Amitabh Bachchan is shown moving in his wheelchair in the backdrop of India Gate and with the music going into a crescendo, we see Farhan who is said to play the role of an ATS officer in the film, hit a punching bag.

The film that went on floor in September is produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, and also features Aditi Rao Hydari, as its leading lady.


 





While the teaser is not high on action, the game of chess and its repetitive images seems to be symbolically presented. The teaser does not end with a release date but leaves us with a lasting impression.

 Peshawar massacre: Amitabh Bachchan says his feelings indescribable


The dastardly attack on Army Public School in Peshawar has left many Bollywood greats in a state of shock. In his blog, Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan said that instead of sympathising, the world should pray for the survivors and victims.

The veteran actor posted: "I can reconcile with my mind... I can reconcile with my body... I can reconcile with idiocy... I can reconcile with victory and defeat... but how does one reconcile with the tragedy and the horror of the children in Peshawar, Pakistan...

“Life goes on as does the wheel of fortune... moving endlessly on its axis of all what life and the heavens purported to bless us with... but when you look back, it is time for you to look forward... the horror does not need any accreditation... it does not need attention or sympathy... right now it needs only prayer and thoughts with those little ones.”

Feeling the pain and agony, the 72-year-old wrote: "Going about our daily work is ridden with the thoughts of those that perished... those that shall never see their homes again… those who went to educate themselves, to learn, to understand, to live... and they all ended up a heap of... it is difficult even to talk about it…"

He further wrote: "It is difficult to even begin to describe what our feelings should be, for all that we can possibly perceive is that a prayer and comfort is all that we should be giving to those that survived.”
