While there is tremendous speculation about the reasons that prompted Amitabh Bachchan to opt out of POLICE FORCE, directed by Madhur Bhandarkar, speculation is also rife vis-?is who would step in the Big B's shoes eventually. There's talk that Shatrughan Sinha has been finalized already. I'm hearing a lot of names myself, Madhur smiles, People are busy speculating that I've approached Chiranjeevi, Dilip Kumar and Nana Patekar as well. But believe me, we've yet to take a decision.

From what we gather, the artiste in question has already been approached and after the basic formalities are completed, the official name will be announced in a week from now.
