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.

Amitabh Bachchan in Dhoom 4

“Dhoom” series is always fascinating while watching. Even before a sequel of this series starts, gossips run through media with speculations and expectations.

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.

Amitabh Bachchan said that “I always watch my loop holes carefully and try not to repeat them. Yhe current generation in Bollywood is having their style and people are getting attracted towards them. Each and every actor has a unique identity in hindi cinema.

It is a tough question when asked who could replace me. I cannot decide or judge my replacement. Comparing Bollywood with Hollywood isn’t a right thing. Appreciate Hollywood films if you like them, and at the same time be proud of our talent towards acting.

Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan are the inspiration to millions. I wish that they live the same way for another 100 years.”

When asked Amitabh about a film on his life, he replied saying “If a film made on me, it would defiantly be a flop. I am not a person upon who you can a biopic. It would happy and satisfactory if a biopic is made on my father, Harivansh Rai Bachchan. He is one person I always looked up to. My father is my inspiration.”

When asked about continuing acting, Amitabh replied saying “I will defiantly continue acting. I will act till my last breath” concluded Amitabh Bachchan.

Big B and Dhanush together in Balki’s next

After making an impressive debut in Bollywood with Raanjhanaa, Dhanush will be teaming up with none other than megastar Amitabh Bachchan in R Balki’s next untitled project. This will also mark the debut of Akshara Haasan, younger daughter of Kamal Haasan, who will be paired opposite the Kolaveri sensation.

Big-B-Dhanush

Big B is all excited about this project. He had earlier worked with Balki in some impressive films like Cheeni Kum and Paa, and the duo is set to strike the chord once again.

“…Rushed to meet people from distant worlds, admirers that have long been desiring a personal interaction. .switched soon thereafter to a make-up room for the look test for Balki’s film, which I start shooting within a week” he tweeted excitedly.

There was a long anticipation from the audience as to what Dhanush would take up next, especially after breaking the norms and standing out with a commendable screen presence in Raanjhanaa, despite his ‘out of the zone’ South looks that would least impress up North. Dhanush had been choosing projects carefully ever since, in both Bollywood and Tamil domain.

The south actor remains unfazed with his phenomenal success in both the worlds, after metamorphosing into a complete actor with some intense roles. Though the plot of the film is still unknown, we can vouch for the fact that it will be a typical R Balki movie bringing together Megastar and Dhanush in a great setting.

Akshara Haasan is set and raring to go with Bollywood innings with this movie.
