Nayan: Amitabh Bachchan will in all probability make an appearance in a Tamil film for the first time. Many directors had made efforts to cast him in a Tamil film but did not succeed. Amitabh Bachchan was also reported to be making a guest appearance in Sivaji but even that too failed to materialize. The credit will now go to director D Aravind. Aravind has approached Big B to make a special appearance in his next film Aruvadai. A confirmation from the Big B is expected shortly.
