Two good news - One for Amitabh Bachchan fans and the other for UTV spot boy, Irrfan Khan and Tigmanshu Dhulia. The iconic megastar Big B is getting better day by day. Recently he saw Tigmanshu Dhulia's talked film 'Paan Singh Tomar', a biopic on sprinter turned dacoit Paan Singh starring Irrfan Khan and couldn't stop praising the inspiring effort.
Big B has described the movie as inspiring and fitting tribute to unsung heroes and truly a biopic. His post on his blog reads, "A fulfilling day! Saw an inspiring film, 'Paan Singh Tomar' directed by Tigmanshu Dhulia and enacted by a whole cast of fresh and very talented players, led by that incredible performer Irrfan. Such restraint in direction and performance, but such an impression on the nature of the subject. A biopic true to life and detail."
"...this is a true story, of a man from Madhya Pradesh...The tribute to the unsung hero, lists various prominent sportsmen who brought glory on International platforms for the country, but died penniless. Some even having to sell off their gold medal to survive. Such a moving tale," he added.
Mr Bachchan also pressed for support for sportspersons from the government. "...the first thought that comes to mind is to lend support to those that find themselves in such condition. To plead with the system to show some compassion and respect for the glory they brought for us, so we could stick our chests out in pride and look after them in their hour of need instead of leaving them in dire straits to perish without any honour," he wrote.
