It is known that a Delhi-based lawyer has lodged a police complaint against Big Bachchan claiming that he sang the national anthem in 1 minute 22 seconds and violated the guidelines of Indian government restricting the time to 52 seconds.

“I was really moved by the way Sri Amitabh Bachchan ji rendered our National Anthem in Kolkata the other day. It was dignified, in perfect pitch and perfect pronunciation,” posted Balasubramanyam on Facebook.

“Somebody filed a PLC against him saying that his singing was a few seconds more than the prescribed duration for singing the National Anthem. Is there a law like that? Surprise!!!.How could nobody mention anything about the duration of the National Anthem sung by Lathaji, BhimSenJoshiji, Balamuraliji and lots of others in which I too participated,” wondered Balasubramanyam?

“Sir, the judges are struggling to find time to dispose off pending cases. Is it necessary that one would add another pain in their neck? There are plenty of issues in the country. If possible let us help to solve them. Let us not find petty ways to seek publicity. Let us be magnanimous.I really feel proud when AB sir sang the Anthem. Hats off to you, Sir,” posted Balasubramanyam, who won the National Award for best male playback singer six times.

The superstar revealed that he was diagnosed with TB on the day he started shooting for Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) in 2000. He recalled it was a time of immense pain and he was on strong medication to relieve from pain.

“In 2000, I was detected with TB and went through a very rigorous treatment for almost a year. I contracted TB on the day I was going to start TV show KBC. It was a TB of spine. It’s very uncomfortable. You cannot sit or lie down. Most of the time, I was on 8-10 pain killers a day just to survive the period when I was anchoring the game show,” the megastar said ahead of World Tuberculosis Day on March 24.

“Many people ask me why I contribute my services to the medical cause. I have had a complicated medical history. One of the reasons I took up TB is because I am a TB survivor,” Big B said.

“The reason I disclosed is that I felt that the word survivor is somehow is a very powerful word. When I say I am TB survivor, it seems like I survived a plane crash or boat sinking. If you survive that, it lends a lot of power and strength to what you are saying deeper. It’s like saying that I have survived it because I went through a process,” he said.

It was commendable from the actor to create awareness among people about the disease.

Following “Dhoom” was “Dhoom 2,” which started Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai as the male and female lead. The interesting part of the series is that the negative role of the film has more importance than any other. Hence, heroes opt for such negative character in this series.

It is been eleven years since the first part came. In the first part, it was John Abraham who was the negative lead. Starting from this two more films followed in series.

In the 3rd part, i.e., “Dhoom 3,” it was Aamir Khan who stole the show. The film is taken to another level by Aamir’s performance. Additional to this was Katrina’s glamour. Though the film couldn’t do well from critic’s point of view, collections were huge for this film. It grossed around 500+cr worldwide and stood as one of the highest collectors in Indian Cinema.

With earning such name and fame the producer’s of Dhoom- Yash Raj Films are planning another part of these thriller series. “Dhoom 4” has begun its pre-production work and will go on to the sets from next year.

Hrithik Roshan, who played the lead in “Dhoom 2,” will once again appear in the negative character for “Dhoom 4.” Interestingly rumours also have that “Big B” Amitabh Bachchan is also doing a role in this film. His role is whether a positive one or a negative one is yet to be confirmed.
