Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan will turn 80 on October 11. To mark the celebration of his 80th birthday The Film Heritage Foundation is organizing a four days film festival. Superstar Big B has delivered brilliant movies in his career spanning 54 years in the Indian cinema.
The Film Heritage Foundation in association with PVR planned to bring the era of Amitabh Bachchan that has gone. PVR Cinemas will handpick Amitabh Bachchan’s iconic movies and will screen them in 22 theaters across 17 cities. This grand event will start from October 8th to October 11, which marks his 80th birthday.
Commenting on the remarkable initiative, Amitabh Bachchan said, “I didn’t think that I would see a day that all these films from my early career would be back on the big screen across the country. It is a remarkable initiative of the Film Heritage Foundation and PVR to showcase not just my work, but the work of my directors, fellow actors and technicians of the time who made these films possible. It brings back an era that is gone, but not forgotten. This is why saving India’s film heritage is so important. I hope that this is just the beginning of many festivals that will celebrate landmark films of Indian cinema back on the big screen”.
Farhan Akhtar shared the poster on his Instagram account. He captioned the post, “October just got really exciting. A festival to celebrate the biggest of them all. From the angry young Vijay to the quirky Anthony.. what a treat to be able to watch these films on screen again. Well done Film Heritage Foundation, Shivi Dungarpur and PVR.. this is going to be magic.”
