Action hero again

Amitabh Bachchan at 63 is once again playing an action hero with a lot of style and panache in "Ek Ajnabee", releasing this Friday.

Amitabh plays a retired black commando in the Army whose life takes a traumatic turn when he is hired to protect an 8-year-old girl who is kidnapped right under his nose! The film, based on a Hollywood thriller, "Man on Fire", is grabbing a lot of attention due to its sleek look and stylish promos.

The cast has Arjun Rampal and Perizaad Zorabian along with Abhishek Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt and Lara Dutta making cameo appearances. And now with Amitabh's hospitalisation "Ek Ajnabee" is likely to take a huge opening, due to the sympathy factor.
