India's all-time biggest movie star Amitabh Bachchan returns to the big screen in the new action thriller "Ek Ajnabee" ("One Stranger") opening worldwide on December 9th. The 63-year-old Bollywood megastar plays a man on a path to self-destruction who finds redemption when he is hired to protect an eight-year-old girl from a kidnapping plot. "Ek Ajnabee" was filmed on location in Bangkok, Thailand and co-stars Arjun Rampal, Perizaad Zorabian, and Vikram Chatwal. Action sequences were directed by the fight choreographer of Lara Croft Tomb Raider and Ong Bak.

This Bollywood version of the Denzel Washington Hollywood hit "Man On Fire" will be Amitabh's latest release after the success of Bunty Aur Babli and Virrudh earlier this year. With the younger Arjun Rampal in the co-lead, the film is sure to capture the attention of many female fans. Perizaad Zorabian is the female lead and after her performances in Mumbai Matinee and Joggers Park, she's got all the men in anticipation. Hotelier turned actor Vikram Chatwal also stars and very many are looking forward to seeing his acting capabilities.

The film is no doubt set to become a huge blockbuster with its all-star cast, especially with the promotion behind it. The Big B himself will be present at an upcoming press conference taking place in New York to help promote the picture. The film opens on December 9th across the USA, so you can all judge from the experience for yourself.
