MUMBAI: After being in Bollywood for four decades, Amitabh Bachchan will now debut in an international project titled ‘The Great Gatsby’.

He is drawn into Gatsby’s circle, becoming a witness to obsession and tragedy. Other cast members for The Great Gatsby include Joel Edgerton, Carey Mulligan and Isla Fisher.
