Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan is highly impressed with the highly professional attitude of the Hollywood veteran Ben Kingsley. Bachchan has just completed shooting for his next flick with the Oscar winning legend.

Amitabh completed five scenes at an 'exotic casino' with Kingsley in London for the last schedule of Teen Patti, directed by Leena  Yadav.

'(It's)...a joy really to be working with a crew that respects efficiency and time and a colleague who is professional to the core,' Amitabh wrote on his blog www.bigb.bigadda.com.  'It's been a joy to work with Sir Ben. He is generous and polite, prepared and competent and cooperative with every breath. It is no wonder then that we have finished what would have involved us all for several more days,' he added

Amitabh is playing the role of a professor who trains five of his brightest protégés in gambling.

Commenting on the difference in the looks of his character vis-a-vis that of Kingsley's in the movie, Amitabh wrote: 'We are elder academicians; me more than him. I'm a math professor, generally known to be absent minded, hesitant in public and not generating too much care on clothing. Sir Ben is greatly more smooth and suave in the film.'

Other actors in the film include R. Madhavan and newcomers Siddharth Kher, Dhruv Ganesh, Vaibhav Talwar and Shraddha Kapoor.
