Amitabh Bachchan has confirmed that Ben Kingsley plays an important part in Leena Yadav’s film Teen Patti. Along with Bachchan, the film also has  Madhavan. To quote from Bachchan’s blog …

I am told Sir David Frost that great commentator and TV personality, wishes to interview me for a program he does on India. Such an important personality, what ever would he find talking to me, I wonder. And then soon after we get into a photo shoot and reading rehearsals for the shoot, with Sir Ben Kingsley. He plays an important part in the film.

The possibility of meeting up with 2 decorated personalities and in fact working with them together, seems awe inspiring. Very soon I shall have all the gory details of the shoot and shall share them with you.
