Amitabh Bachchan gets standing ovation in London
Bollywood Shehanshah Amitabh Bachchan got a standing ovation from audience in London on August 24th when he recited dialogues from his old movies like Deewar and Agnipath as part of the Unforgettable Tour.
Amitabh Bachchan became emotional while delivering dialogues from Deewar — in which he plays an agnostic who goes to the temple for the first time asking God to save the life of his mother — and said: “Whenever I do the scene I get emotional about my mother whom I lost last year.”
Besides the three-hour long bonanza of Bollywood songs and dance sequences, performed on Sunday night, Bachchan read out some of the poems from Agnipath (Path of Fire), penned by his father Harivansh Rai Bachchan.
The show also had star attractions like Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Preity Zinta, Ritesh Deshmukh, Shilpa Shetty and music directors Vishal and Shekhar, assisted by a cast of 130 stage artists, who kept the crowd spell bound with their scintillating performances.
The show partners with TERI project to light a billion homes across the globe.
“We (Unforgettable Tour) have decided to light 1 billion houses (in the world). About 1.6 billion people in the world do not have electricity. The Lighting a Billion lives campaign provides solar lanterns to people living in villages that don’t have electricity,” Jaya Bachchan, said.
The tour promoted by Indian company Wizcraft will see its final show in Rotterdam in Netherlands on August 29th.
