Bachchanalia released at the Jaipur Literature Festival on 23 Jan 2009

Festivity and anticipation reached a crescendo on 23 January when the Publishing Division of
Osian’s released their inaugural book Bachchanalia: The Films and Memorabilia of Amitabh
Bachchan at the Jaipur Literature Festival. The book was released by Amitabh Bachchan in the presence of an overwhelming gathering of media, festival attendees, school children and the general public.
A unique conversation between Mr. Neville Tuli and Mr. Bachchan brought forth various facets of
Mr. Bachchan’s personality as he shared his experiences and thoughts on various subjects,
followed by an interesting and interactive session with the audience. At the Jaipur Literature Festival, to catch a glimpse of Amitabh Bachchan, some people had climbed on to the terrace. A young lady screamed from there – “Sir, aap filmon main nahin hotey to kahan hotey?”
“Wahan hotey jahan aap hain,” pat came the reply.
