Ahead of Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan’s 80th birthday, a four-day film festival has been organised in honour of the actor. The Film Heritage Foundation kickstarted the celebration from October 8 to October 11 to celebrate Amitabh Bachchan’s birthday. Among many others, veteran actress Shabana Azmi also attended the screening of Don in Mumbai.
Interestingly, the actress took to her social media handle and shared a video on Sunday. The video gave a sneak peek inside the theatre capturing the fans of Amitabh Bachchan going crazy as the title of the film plays on the silver screen. While a section of viewers started hooting, a bunch of them were dancing.
Captioning the short video, Azmi wrote, “Unbelievable audience to DON at PVR Juhu yesterday . People mouthing dialogues singing dancing like at a rock concert. #Salim Javed #Amitabh Bachchan rule . What a treat . Thank you #Film Heritage Foundation and #PVR cinemas.”
