==Plot==<br />
Bacchu a.k.a. Bijay ([[Jeet (actor)|Jeet]]) is an die-hard fan of [[Amitabh Bachchan]], who kept the later's name Vijay (from the film [[Coolie (1983 Hindi film)|Coolie]]) and also adopted the surname of the legend. Bijay is the son of a washerman Ramesh ([[Supriyo Dutta]]), who doesn't want to be like his father, but dreams of earning million bucks. He has an astrologer friend Shankar ([[Kanchan Mullick]]) who predicts his future and tells him that his fortunes would change. While delivering the clothes washed and ironed by his father, to a retired [[Colonel]] ([[Kharaj Mukherjee]]), he falls in love with the latter's younger daughter Priya([[Aindrita Ray]]).<br />
Bijay finds out that Priya was set to meet Dr.Partho Sarathi Chatterjee ([[Saheb Chatterjee]]), a suitor as instructed by her father. Bijay, with his friend Shankar, reach the hospital and pretend to be a [[Physician|doctor]] to Priya trying to gently woo her. After some hilarious situations, Priya realizes Bijay's true identity, but soon finding his antics adorable, forgives him and also reciprocates his feelings. <br />
One day riding through the streets, Bijay gets into a tussle with few goons and is arrested. Later, he discovers that the goons are the henchmen of an Underworld King named Master ([[Mukul Dev]]). Bijay, hiding behind a chair, requests the police officer not to reveal him to Master. After being released from the [[police station]], Bijay finds a mobile phone which had accidentally fallen from Master's pocket. Master, gets a call from his own mobile phone and the unknown caller offers to return the phone. But Bijay, who is the unknown caller demands money for it. Master tries all means to get the phone from Bijay, containing a video starring [[Police Commissioner]] Dibakar Saha ([[Ashish Vidyarthi]]) by which he could blackmail the commissioner to hide the files of Master from everyone. On the other hand, Bijay extracts money from master doing various things(such as kidnapping Master's brother etc.). The twist in this cat and mouse game comes in the form of Trisha ([[Payel Sarkar]]), who wants Master to be killed due to some reasons. <br />

==Production==<br />
<br />
=== Development ===<br />
''Bachchan'' is produced jointly under the banners of [[Reliance Entertainment]] and [[Grassroot Entertainment]]. It is the remake of the 2011 [[Cinema of Karnataka|Kannada film]], ''[[Vishnuvardhana (film)|Vishnuvardhana]]'', which starred [[Sudeep]] , [[Bhavana (actress)|Bhavana]] and [[Priyamani]] in the lead roles.<br />
<br />
The plot consists of an interesting incident, which is centered around [[Amitabh Bachchan]]. This justifies the very naming of the film, according to director [[Raja Chanda]].<br />
<br />
=== Casting ===<br />
''Bachchan'' marks the Bengali debut of Kannada actress [[Aindrita Ray]], who was signed for this film to play the character of the female lead opposite [[Jeet (actor)|Jeet]]. She confirmed that she was playing the role which was played by [[Bhavana (actress)|Bhavana]] in ''[[Vishnuvardhana (film)|Vishnuvardhana]]''. Regarding her casting, Aindrita said, "It is a complete coincidence that my first Bengali film happens to be a remake of a Kannada film. I think this symbolizes me, for these are the two languages that I connect most to. The hero, director and banner are the best that Tollywood can offer. I couldn't think of anything bigger in terms of a debut.''Bachchan'' also marks the first pairing of two renowned Tollywood faces, [[Jeet (actor)|Jeet]] and [[Payel Sarkar]]. According to Payel, her role in the film is a vital one and there is a depth in that character.<br />
[[Mukul Dev]] was also confirmed as a main [[antagonist]] in the movie. He is the first choice of the director and producer after his strong main [[antagonist]] role in 2012 Bengali Blockbuster movie [[Awara (2012 film)|Awara]] With [[Jeet (actor)|Jeet]].<br />
[[Subhashree Ganguly]] was also confirmed to make a special appearance in an [[item number]].<br />
