The yet-untitled film will also star "Baby" actress Tapsee Pannu.
The 73-year-old actor calls the movie "dramatic".
"Preparing for the next one... Dramatic! for Shoojit Sirkar...," Bachchan wrote on Twitter.
Alongside the post, the actor shared a picture of probably his look in the movie, produced by Sircar and directed by National award-winner Aniruddha Roy Chowdhary.
Wearing glasses and a suit-tie, Bachchan seemingly sports a corporate look.
