Megastar Amitabh Bachchan says he has always admired his "Shamitabh" co-star Dhanush as an actor.

The 72-year-old also believes that Dhanush is a "wonderful choice" for the role, which is said to have been offered to Shah Rukh Khan first, in "Shamitabh".

Directed by R. Balakrishnan aka Balki, "Shamitabh" also features Akshara Haasan.
