The film was an adaptation of F Scott Fitzgerald's novel of the same name. DiCaprio played the protagonist Jay Gatsby, while 71-year-old Bachchan donned the role of his friend Meyer Wolfsheim, a gambler in a cameo.
"Mr Bachchan impressed me immensely by not just his talent and his ability to act, but what a gentleman he was. I was honoured to work with him. It was great seeing that enthusiasm he brings to even the smallest of roles and I would love to work with him in the future," DiCaprio said in a statement.
DiCaprio, 39, latest release is 'The Wolf of Wall Street' for which he won the Golden Globe for the best actor.
