The Amitabh Bachchan, Rashmika Mandanna and Neena Gupta-starrer ‘Goodbye’ is all set for worldwide release in cinemas on October 7, 2022. The trailer of the film was launched in Mumbai on Tuesday. While Big B attended the event virtually, the ladies, Rashmika, Neena and producer Ekta Kapoor, addressed the media present at the event.
During the same, Ekta revealed that it was her childhood dream to work with Amitabh Bachchan and with ‘Goodbye’, it is a dream come true for her. It is also because she never thought of working with the Khans or anyone else, but only dreamt of collaborating with Big B.
Sharing an anecdote, Ekta said, "Since childhood, I always dreamt of working with only one person and that was Big B. As a child, I used to attend birthday parties at Amit ji's house, and Shweta (Nanda Bachchan) and Abhishek (Bachchan) are my friends. Amitabh sir once told my dad (Jeetendra) that she just sat and stared at me all evening.”
She further added, “I don't think I had ever wanted to work with anyone, no Khans or anyone else, just Mr Amitabh Bachchan. Finally, it happened. The experience of working on a film like this is different."
Ekta, while sharing the trailer on social media, wrote, "Family bonding toh suna hoga, par family tuning pehli bar dekhoge! With a string of drama, laughter, dher saara emotion aur bahut saara pyaar, presenting the #GoodbyeTrailer out now! #Goodbye releasing in cinemas near you on 7th October 2022 #GoodbyeOnOct7 (sic)."
