Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan, who has been paired with actress Rani Mukherjee in a number of recent roles, says it is a pleasure working with her as they bring out the best of each other's acting talents, a news report said on Wednesday.

Bachchan, 64, and Mukherjee, 28, played teacher and pupil in the Bollywood hit ``Black'' a year ago. The rising star Mukherjee was Bachchan's daughter-in-law in the recently released ``Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna,'' or ``Never Say Goodbye.''

In the upcoming film ``Babul,'' Bachchan plays a father-in-law who is determined to marry-off his widowed daughter-in-law, Mukherjee.

``I guess we're lucky to have our acting talents being tested in unusual ways,'' he told the Mumbai Mirror. `` Rani is a terrific co-star and it's a pleasure to work with her.''

Bachchan described Mukherjee as a ``very caring girl'' who was a ``thorough professional on camera.''

Mukherjee has acted in 34 Indian language movies since she made her Bollywood debut nine years ago. India's top actor Bachchan has acted in nearly 160 movies in a career spanning three decades.
