Ralph Fiennes impressed by 'Eklavya'

Hollywood actor Ralph Fiennes recently saw Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s forthcoming movie Eklavya at a special screening.

Fiennes, who has acted in acclaimed movies like The English Patient and The Constant Gardener, is in India for a UNESCO project. Last week he was invited by his friend and Bollywood filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra for a screening of Eklavya that stars Amitabh Bachchan, Saif Ali Khan and Sanjay Dutt in lead roles.

There wasn’t anyone else except Chopra and Fiennes at the screening. Fiennes saw the entire movie in silence and was very impressed by Chopra’s work and Mr. Bachchan’s performance.

So much that after the screening Chopra and Fiennes went to Big B’s Jalsa residence to meet the superstar. In his meeting with Bachchan, Fiennes appreciated his acting in the film.

Even Vinod Chopra claims that Amitabh’s performance in Eklavya is the best of superstar’s career so far.

Fiennes also discussed theatre and plays with Mr. Bachchan. The Hollywood actor is looking forward to bring a play called Oedipus to India.
