“Three years ago when Anand Bhai (producer Anand Pandit) suggested this scholarship as an initiative to push students of cinema to strive for excellence, I was quite delighted and humbled to be a part of it. I hope this scholarship helps talented individuals pursue their love for cinema,” said Amitabh Bachchan.

 

“When I instituted the Amitabh Bachchan Media Scholarship three years ago it was meant to be a small ‎contribution to help film students pursue their cinematic dreams. And what better way than being awarded by the biggest icon of Bollywood - Shri Amitabh Bachchan ji,” said filmmaker Anand Pandit.
