Rajamouli thanked Big B




It's raining praises for Baahubali. Joining the bandwagon is none other than Bollywood's mega star and India's legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan. Even before the release of trailer of Baahubali, actor Rana Daggubati managed to show the trailer to Amitabh Bachchan and the Zanjeer star's response to it is 'amazing', 'astonishing' and 'unimaginable'. In a Tete-a-tete with Rana, Amitabh called Baahubali an 'incredible work' and praised Rajamouli as 'renowned talent'.

'Rana I feel very privileged to seen this first look of Baahubali. And I'm absolutely amazed, astounished at how you have been able to recreate this. Magnificent visuals, am sure the story is equally good. You're working with Rajamouli. He is such a renowned talent. How did you conceive something like this. It's just imaginable,' shared Amitabh as his first-reaction soon after watching the trailer.

Rana told, 'The film was shot for close to 400 days. The last action piece you've seen was shot for 120 days alone. We went and fought for 120 days.'

Amitabh, 'My goodness, this is unbelievable. I feel very small in front of something like this. It's a great effort. I doubt anything like this has been seen on Indian Cinema before. I hope millions and millions of people would see this effort. Normally, we see these kind of structures, frame work is seen in one of the progressive Hollywood cinema. I believe this was all shot in Hyderabad. I feel very happy and honoured to be part of Industry that's inventing this fantastic material. I'm happy the film is dubbed in Hindi and being made in Tamil, Telugu. All the best Rana. I wish Rajamouli Ji all the very best and the people connected with it. I've never seen anything like this before. Now I feel I should have been in this project. Each time I see astonishing work, I feel envious. I wish I was part of this project.'

Sharing the video, Rajamouli wrote, 'A big thanks to Amitabh Bachchan ji for his kind words... The team is still in shock from hearing the praises for Baahubali. It is very encouraging to hear such wonderful things about our work from one of the greatest legends of Indian cinema!'

Congrats for Bachhan famliy for seven "Padma" awards




For any other family, it would be little difficult to get conferred with as many as seven Padma Awards from the government of India. But the Bachhan campus, consisting four actors in the house, definitely makes big in the arts category and here's their record. 

The other day Big B Amitabh Bachhan was conferred with Padma Vibhushan award adding a third Padma Award to his name as he received Padma Sri in 1984 and Padma Bhushan in 2001. Both his wife Jaya Bachhan and daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai have a Padma Sri each. Then what about the other two Padmas that account to a total of seven? 

None other than Amitabh's father, legendary poet Harivansh Rai Bachhan received both Padma Sri and Padma Bhushan awards from the government. With as many as 7 Padma Awards in one place, definitely Bachhan khandan makes fans proud and nation delighted.

Do live chats erase gap between star Hero and Fan?




To get maximum openings for their films, these days many superstars are erasing gap between them and their fans. Even bigger stars like Amitabh Bachan, Akshay Kumar and Ram Charan in Tollywood are getting closer to fans through social networks. If a release is around, then this proximity is getting increased. But these acts are literally boring. 

With release of their films around, even Amitabh is seen asking his fans to come for a 'live' chat for an hour. This kind of direct interaction obviously erases the gap between star and his fan. In a way it brings stars closer to fans, but in the other way people start feeling 'lighter' about their heartthrob heroes and will not treat them as some rare finds from middle earth. 

Only a gap between star and his fan makes them look like demigods but as they are literally requesting fans these days to chat with them, the gap is erasing and fans are getting bored. Interacting has advantages and disadvantages too. What say folks?
