Superstar Amitabh Bachchan has been roped in to play the role of mythological character Bhishma for Mohanlal's Randamoozham's film. This rumours were around the corners for sometimes. Director Sreekumar said, "Yes, he is the Bhishma of Randamoozham. We aren’t taking any cinematic liberties with the character for the movie, he will be playing the role as it is in the book."

However, Big B now has issued a statement through his spokesperson, "This is with regards to recent media reports of Mr. Amitabh Bachchan reportedly essaying Bhishma in the movie version of M.T.Vasudevan Nair's Randamoozham directed by Sreekumar. As the official spokesperson agency for Mr Bachchan, we would like to deny this news and state that Mr Bachchan is in no capacity associated with or a part of the above mentioned film directed by Mr Sreekumar. Any news or story reporting otherwise is false and incorrect."
