Mumbai, June 8 : Megastar Amitabh Bachchan is set to portray the role of God in the upcoming Gujarati film 'Fakt Purusho Maate'.

'He was a very special part of 'Fakt Mahilao Maate,' and to be honest, it is hard for me to imagine a project without him. Anyone who has worked with him once wants to work with him again and again,' the producer added.

Producer Vaishal Shah called Bachchan's part an interesting one and said that in a way, his role is central to the way the story unfolds.

Shah said: "His enduring stardom is a phenomenon that cannot be put into words, and this film will once again show why he continues to be a legend.'
