`The Great Gatsby` to hit theatres in May

Bhopal: Megastar Amitabh Bachchan`s debut international project `The Great Gatsby` is in its post-production stage and the actor says it will be out by May this year.

Bachchan, 70, who is currently shooting for Prakash Jha`s `Satyagrah` in Bhopal, received a call from filmmaker Baz Luhrmann regarding the film`s update. "Baz Luhrmann calls to update on `Great Gatsby`... Final settings being done... Should be out May ... Hope to see a print in April!," Bachchan posted on Twitter. Bachchan will play Meyer Wolfsheim, a man with a dark past, who helps the film`s lead Leonardo DiCaprio`s character make money when he first comes to New York after the First World War. The much anticipated film is an adaptation of F Scott Fitzgerald`s classic of the same name and also stars Carey Mulligan, Tobey Maguire and Joel Edgerton in important roles. PTI
