Friday, 7th Apr 2017, 03:39 PM IST Amitabh Bachchan is a celeb who does not like to miss an event if he has committed to attend it. However, recently he had to skip a book launch event since he was unwell. Yesterday, Bachchan was supposed to launch the book ‘Yesterday’s Film For Tomorrow’ by film archivist P.K. Nair. But, the megastar couldn’t turn up as he was suffering from high fever. He, however, sent an apology letter to the organizers for his sudden cancellation. The launch was by Film Heritage Foundation which is India’s only non-government film archive. The foundation’s founder Shivendra Singh Dungarpur shared the letter with the media. The letter read, “I have suddenly and quite unexpectedly developed a high fever. I regret profusely that I shall be unable to attend your event this evening... a shame really because I was looking forward to it.” He added, “As a country, we have shied away from the luxury of documentation; leave alone its restoration and preservation – for films at least! What you and your foundation have initiated is indeed a most selfless, but very important and necessary element, so assiduously worked upon by Mr. Nair.” Bachchan further wrote, “I send my best wishes on the launch of your book on him and do stand by my commitment to be of service to this noble cause. Your idea of constructing an Institute, the design for which I have greatly appreciated, is most laudable and one that I hope shall receive patronage not just from the film fraternity but indeed from the City of Mumbai – the Film Capital of the Nation.” Now you can enjoyad-free experience by downloading India’s first Box Office mobile app from here– Android: http://bit.ly/BOCapsuleMobileAppand iOS: http://bit.ly/BOCapsuleiOSApp |
