Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan is planning a memorial for his late father Harivansh Rai Bachchan, a distinguished Hindi poet.

“We want to do things in his memory, be it in the field of remembrance, research or in any other field but we will do it,” Bachchan said here.

Declining to give details of the scheme, the ace actor said: “Yes, you will know about it. But his (Harivansh Rai’s) contribution to literature cannot be ever challenged.”

Harivansh Rai was a distinguished Hindi poet of 'Chhayavaad' (romantic upsurge) literary movement in early 20th century and was best known for his collection of poems Madhushala.
