For the third year running, the prestigious Amitabh Bachchan Media Scholarship instituted by producer and high-end real estate developer Anand Pandit was awarded to Samagata Banerjee, a deserving film student from film institute Whistling Woods. The Amitabh Bachchan Media Scholarship is an annual scholarship awarded to students of cinema and media after an exhaustive selection process.
“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.
Meanwhile, on work front, Amitabh Bachchan is looking forward to his next big project Thugs Of Hindostan starring alongside Aamir Khan, Katrina Kaif and Fatima Sana Shaikh. The film is set to release on November 9, 2018.
