Big B, a genius, reclusive math professor in Teen Patti


Teen Patti is an edge-of-the-seat thriller starring legendary actors Amitabh Bachchan and Ben Kingsley. The film being produced by Ambika Hinduja’s Serendipity Film Productions, stars Bachchan in an unconventional role of a genius, reclusive mathematics professor.

Teen Patti with card gambling as the backdrop has Big B playing tutor to R. Madhavan and four newcomers Dhruv Ganesh, Siddharth Kher, Vaibhav Talwar and Shakti Kapoor’s daughter Shraddha Kapoor. According to reports, he tutors them about high stake gambling, but producer Ambika remains tight-lipped. She also clarifies that Kingsley isn’t playing a cameo but has “an integral part” in the film.

Made on a budget of Rs 35 crore and shot at Flame College, Pune and St John’s College, Cambridge, the film is a take on greed, deception and morality and will release year end. “And it is not based on the Hollywood flick 21,” asserts Hinduja. Teen Patti is the second film of the banner after Being Cyrus that starred Saif Ali Khan.
