Big B, Shahrukh, Aamir....And Chandigarh Di Star!!!

Bollywood On My Mind June 18, 2011


An interview with Mr Bachchan is always special. In the discotheque of a Bombay five star hotel, Big B strutted in style, dressed in a colorful shirt and funky glares. I started off the interview with a few lines written by my father:

Iss umr ke safar ka
Kitna taweel rasta tai maine kar liya hai
Aur ab bhi taaza dum hoon, bilkul nahi thaka hoon
Hairat ki baat kya hai?


While talking to the legend I always feel blessed for being a part of the profession that I am. Amitabh Bachchan is God and being right in front of him is a wonderful feeling. We discussed the influence of director Puri Jagannath and the South Indian influence that's apparent in 'Bbuddah Hoga Tera Baap'. Big B said that the exchange has always been there. Rajnikanth has remade several Bachchan films in South like 'Namak Halal', 'Don' and 'Deewar'. The budget of BHTB is a mere Rs 10 crore. The satellite rights have already been sold for Rs 13.5 crore so it becomes a profitable venture even before the release. I have a strong positive gut feeling about BHTB. It has a good chance of succeeding at the Box Office. Really hope BHTB producer Abhishek Bachchan is careful about the budget of his own films as an actor as well.

One of you sent me a mail asking, how do I tackle detractors. Well, I just don't react or give importance to good-for-nothing-'losers'. My work speaks for itself. And mashallah, things are getting better with each passing day :)

God Bless!!!
