Moreover, Anand Purohit Motion Pictures, the production house of Bachchan’s upcoming film Chehre, on Tuesday extended a fitting tribute to the actor by releasing a YouTube video comprising of a compilation of 50 prominent characters played by the actor through his career in cinema.
The actor who was recently selected for the Dada Saheb Phalke Award for the year 2018 felt that his birthday is just like any other day for him and is not in a mood of celebration.
He told the media that he feels grateful that he is still healthy and is able to keep working with a positive spirit.
He also said that his father Harivanshrai Bachchan used to recite poems for him during his birthdays in childhood which became a kind of family tradition.
The actor had earlier this year contributed Rs 51 lakh to the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund.
