Sourav enjoyed watching Amitabh rehearse !!

Big B who we all now know as a brand ambassador of ACLT20 will soon be seen in one of the ads with Andrew Symonds, Herschelle Gibbs and Saurav Ganguly. And guess what Symonds will be crooning Hindi song Bheege Honth Tere in Airtel Champions League Twenty 20 ad and Gibbs will also sing Aa dekhe zara… for the commercial.

In the first part of the commercial Amitabh Bahchan is in the role of sutradhar who would inform the viewers how the game has taken an interesting turn at the particular point of time. And this latest one is the continuation of the previous one. In this series he will be a man who sees Symonds, Gibbs and Sourav Ganguly chilling out just before the tournament. Saurav will be in a spa, Symonds is in a bathtub playing with a plastic duck, while Gibbs will be seen strumming a mandolin and crooning. So when Bachchan will see them in this relaxed mode he tells viewers, “Aag toh lagani padegi bhaiyya”.

He then passes acerbic comments about the cricketing styles of their teams and players for Ganguly, Symonds and Gibbs to hear. The three gets enraged, Gibbs breaks the guitar and Dada tears pillow he was resting on and vows to go for the kill. For sure viewers would like to see their players in never-seen-before avatar.

According to Big B, they’re all accomplished actors. He also says that they have cameras panned on them all the time on the field. Toh kitni badhiya acting karte hain kabhi kabhi. To which the cricketer Ganguly said that they don’t have to prove anything in acting and don’t have to set a bar, which they just have to do in cricket. However, they enjoyed seeing Mr Bachchan rehearsing for his part - he’d go to a corner and do it all by himself.
