Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray has expressed his wish to watch the latest Amitabh Bachchan starrer 'Rann' and the megastar has promised to organise a special screening for him.
The veteran politician's son Uddhav had called Bachchan after watching the Ram Gopal Varma directed movie and his father's call followed suit, asking the actor to visit him at his residence.
"Uddhav Thakeray calls. He has just come out of the theatre after 'Rann' and is not able to find appropriate words to describe his appreciation for the film and the performance. Minutes later Bala Saheb calls. 'I want to see this film. Come and show it to me ! You have not been to see me for a long time!'," Bachchan wrote in his blog.
The 67-year-old star, who plays the role of a media baron in the film, promised the veteran politician that he would organise a special screening for him.
"I assure him I shall arrange a projection in his house. I ask after his health. He is fine he says," Bachchan further wrote.
The superstar also expressed his amazement at Thackeray's "resoluteness" at the age of 84.
"He cannot travel out due to his frail condition, but the fire in him still burns. He is resolute and firm as ever. His sense of humor is in tact as he punches in some wise ones !" Big B wrote. PTI
