Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan has said he will act for free in his
Hollywood debut in a new film adaptation of The Great Gatsby, starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
He said he had waived his fee as he was making a “mere one scene
appearance”.
The actor will play Meyer Wolfsheim, a Jewish man described as a gambler in F Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel.
The $126m film directed by Baz Luhrmann has begun shooting in Australia.
“The Great Gatsby” is the story of 1920s high society in the US, the golden age of excess before the Depression.
Writing in his blog, Bachchan, 68, said he had “refused any remuneration” because his small role in the film was a “friendly gesture” to Luhrmann.
