Amitabh Bachchan still a challenge to youngsters

Friday, December 4, 2009, 11:44 [IST]
It seems Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan grows stronger every passing year like the wine. There are not many actors of his age in Bollywood who works as hard as him. But this 67-year-old veteran is not ready to rest. In fact, he is still ready to take up challenging and unusual roles, thus posing a threat to even young actors including his own son Abhishek Bachchan.

The Big B never runs short of surprises ever since he entered the film industry about four decades ago. The latest being his role as a 13-year-old Auro, a progeria-affected boy (progeria is a rare disorder that shows ageing at a very young age) in Paa. Poster of the film where his son Abhishek carries his real father on his back created lots curiosity amongst the public. That's Amitabh Bachchan for you!

The way he put up Paa premiere was amazing. Believe it or not, he called up each and every people he wanted for the premiere besides sending a personal invitation, that too well in advance so that they could avail the day for it without disrupting their shooting schedules. It was wonderful for a person of his stature to contact everyone personally. He is such a professional.

Well, public will finally get the chance to see him as 13-year-old Auro on the big screens, as Paa releases today with about 700 prints worldwide. It will be a treat to watch him as the son of Abhishek (his son) and Vidya Balan.

Amitabh Bachchan is here to stay for he is still 67 years young. Expect the unexpected from him in the years to come!

"AMITABHA BACHHAN STILL A CHALLENGE TO YOUNGSTERS". THIS IS TOTALLY A WRONG STATEMENT AS NO ONE CAN CHALLANGE TO AMITABH NOT EVEN FROM HOLLYWOOD. HE IS A MASTER OF THE ACTING IN THE WORLD AND HE SHOULD GET NOT ONLY FILMFARE OR ANY INDIAN AWARDS BUT ALSO OSCAR AWARD FOR HIS PERFORMANCE IN "PAA".

"The Big B never runs short of surprises ever since he entered the film industry about four decades ago" Wow - talk about mixed tenses. "The way he ‘put up’ Paa premiere was amazing" - "Put up"?? “Paa premiere”? Shouldn’t that be Paa’s premiere? What language is this - pray tell? 3rd Para, 2nd Line - each and every "people"??? No - that's each and every 'person' or each and every 'one'. Last para - "Amitabh Bachchan is here to stay" Really?? I never knew that AB is a newcomer - because this is a phrase usually used for newcomers. Perhaps Mr. Raymond Ronamai has discovered new phraseology in English that we ordinary folk have no idea about!!! One India - pl. ensure that such ignoramuses don't write on your behalf. Pl. get someone who at least understands the rudiments of the language in which they are writing, as this review leaves the impression of total unprofessionalism on your behalf.

Another ridiculous error - First line - "every passing year like the wine". "THE" wine?? Which wine are you referring to here O brilliant one!! The sentence should read - every passing year like wine. There is NO need for "the" in this sentence.
