Bachchan will be attending the 10-day long festival to present the movie, which saw him uniting with son Abhishek Bachchan in a reel-life role reversal.The 67-year-old star played the role of a 13-year-old child suffering from Progeria, a rare disease that accelerates ageing. Vidya Balan played Bachchan's onscreen mother.
"We are taking ‘PAA’ there and initial respect for the film deserves at least some recognition and applause !!," the actor wrote.
Bachchan said he will be attending the festival for 'Paa' but since he wears heavy make-up to look like a child audience won't recognise him."Its a pity that this is the only film that shall have me at this festival and because of my intricate make up may never acknowledge my presence. That would be a thought I guess...," he said.
