Amitabh Bachchan shall soon present his website to the world

Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan , who has taken to blogging in a big way, has said that his complete website is presently under construction and shall soon be presented to the world.

“I have just started blogging and enjoying the medium. My complete website is presently under construction by ‘Zapak.com’ and shall soon be presented to the world. Till then I shall continue blogging through ‘Bigadda’,” the Big B wrote in his blog.

“Work is in progress on my site and it should be ready in a few weeks time. Once that happens, I shall blog from my site. A fine team of people are working on the site and I am happy with the progress,” the ace actor said.

He said that ‘Zapak’ and ‘Bigadda’ are service providers and he was happy with the way they have been handling his blog and in the building of the website.

Bachchan scoffed at speculations that he is being paid to blog on ‘Bigadda’. “This is my personal blog, why would I take money to blog on my own site. I get paid to work in Movies, TV show, commercials, not to express my personal views to the public, that too on my own platform,” he said.

Bachchan noted that ‘Bigadda’ is an Anil Ambani group venture and his “personal relationship with Ambani has got nothing to do with his ties with ‘Bigadda’.”

“‘Bigadda’ is a medium for my blog. They are the service providers; my own technical knowledge being low. I am not the Brand Ambassador for ‘Bigadda’, I am merely using their services till my own website comes up,” Bachchan said.

‘I’d want to cast Bumbada’

Amitabh.
Seems like good times are ahead for Bengali cinema. Pritish Nandy is all set to produce a Bengali film on Binoy-Badal-Dinesh.

Jhankaar Beats director Sujoy Ghosh has been roped in for the project, shooting for which in Kolkata and Bangladesh should begin end of this year. “We intend to make this film on a budget of Rs 8-10 crore. It’s a contemporary adaptation of the great historical events,” says Nandy. As for Sujoy, who is currently shooting for Aladin, this is a dream project of sorts. The director talks to CT about his dreams and reality.

Why did you choose such a subject?
As children, I’ve grown up reading Binoy-Badal-Dinesh’s contribution to the freedom struggle. But today, if I were to ask my son to read up on this, he might want to skip it. I’d want to make a film on the events in these icons’ lives in a manner that holds the attention of today’s children.

Your film’s budget is unheard of in Bangla cinema…
True. It’s an expensive concept. Since film-making is a business, I want to make the film in a way that I can help my producer to recover the cost.

Historicals often run the risk of irking people. Though you are doing a contemporary adaptation, how do you rule out fears of protests like what had been staged for Jodhaa Akbar?
I can’t do much about it. All I can say is that this film will be my take on the events. I’ve a picture in my head. Where there are chances of confusion, I shall go with the
majority’s version.

Big B’s watching!

Mumbai motorists, beware! Bhoothnath Bachchan is frowning down on all violators of traffic rules.

So don’t skip lanes, jump signals, talk on the phone while driving, exceed speed limits and drive rashly. And, please don’t drink and drive, Big B won’t like it at all.

In a consumer-driven initiative to promote safe driving habits, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Harish Baijal roped in superstar Amitabh Bachchan to be the Mumbai motorists’ conscience keeper. And, the savvy Bachchan agreed to deliver the traffic police’s public service messages through his image of a friendly ghost in the forthcoming film Bhoothnath.

Bachchan, who earlier assisted DCP Baijal in the traffic police’s No Horn Day, strongly believes that regulatory authorities who give driving licenses should take a little more care.

Echoing former President Dr Abdul Kalam words, Big B asks, “Why is it that when an Indian goes abroad, he’s such a disciplined human being he’ll follow traffic laws, the discipline, culture, and regulations of that city absolutely perfectly, but when he comes back home, he’s the first one to break all of them? It shows that we have the capacity to be disciplined, but when we come to our own land, we want to disregard it.”
So, Bhoothnath Bachchan is blowing the whistle on motorists flaunting the rules through a series of hoardings on the city’s roads. Fasten your seat-belt.
