After crooning songs like "Mere angane mein", "Rang barse" and "Chali chali" for his movies, Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan now has lent his voice for a TV commercial. Directed by Sujoy Ghosh, who is also directing the actor in his forthcoming film "Aladin", Amitabh has sung the song for a Himani Navratna Oil commercial, for which he is also the brand ambassador. "He has an incredible energy level that comes across on the screen as well. We had an amazing time shooting the ad with him," said Ghosh. The jingle has been composed by Vishal-Shekhar and sources claim "Amitabh too spent long hours in the studio with the musicians and provided his own inputs". The 66-year-old will also shake a leg in the ad.

Malayalam superstar Mammootty's much-anticipated Ee Pattanathil Bhootham, directed by Johny Antony, is all set to grace screens on May 14. The movie, which was earlier slated for April 30 release, was postponed due to the delay in completion of heavy graphics and animations. The film has been scripted by Siby K. Thomas and Udayakrishnan. Ee Pattanathil Bhootham is a fantasy-filled adventure, donning Mammootty in a double role as a bike jumper named Jimmy in a circus company and a friendly ghost! The story revolves around an orphan Jimmy brought up by Krishnettan (Innocent), who runs a street circus group.
