September 23, 2008. Veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan, who is in France with wife Jaya, says he might sign a French project, if he is lucky. 

The superstar has attended several meetings in France and says that from the looks of it “there may be consent on the French project”. It will be produced and directed by the makers of Oscar winning March of the Penguin. 

"The film will be in English. It'll be set in India and France. Perhaps work starts end of next year. That is all that one can talk of right now,” Amitabh wrote on his blog www.bigb.bigadda.com. 

He also wrote about another project by Paul Schrader, the writer of Hollywood films Taxi Driver and Raging Bull. 

“I shall need to see the script before I consider any further,” he wrote.
