While he recently watched 3 Idiots, grapevine has it that he has now invited the Bachchan family for a special screening of Paa at PVR Cinemas on Saturday at 6 pm.
Sources from the multiplex told Metrolife that an entire hall has been booked for the screening and the guest list will include people from the film industry and the ministers. “He has organised this screening in order to create awareness about the rare medical disorder, progeria that has been highlighted in the film,” explained the source.
The security has been beefed up in the multiplex and preparations are on to welcome the Bachchan parivar.
“Yes, the staff is excited as it’s not every day you have Amitabh Bachchan coming to our theatre. We hope to make it a special one for both the CM and Mr Bachchan,” said Vishal, area manager of PVR Cinemas. “As for food, the CM has strictly advised us to keep only vegetarian items for the guests,” he added.
At the recent screening of Paa in Gujarat, Amitabh Bachchan had asked for tax exemption for the film, one wonders whether he will ask for the same here?
