Amitabh Bachchan No Longer IIFA Brand Ambassador

Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who has been the brand ambassador of the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards since their inception in 2000, will no longer perform the role – and the concept itself has been dropped.

‘Due to unexplainable reasons, after announcing the event, Mr. Bachchan couldn’t participate in the IIFA Weekend in Sri Lanka last year. Following this, IIFA aborted the concept of a Brand Ambassador,’ Sabbas Joseph, director, Wizcraft entertainment that organizes the event, said in a statement.

‘Keeping in mind the huge respect that Wizcraft and IIFA have for Mr. Bachchan and the deep relationship that we’ve always shared, we are not having anyone replace Mr. Bachchan.

‘The Bachchan family has been an intrinsic part of IIFA every year, and in this regard we have already shared with them a proposal about their participation this year too. Mr Bachchan’s reason for non-participation is best known to him. IIFA and Mr.Bachchan are inseparable. We will continue to pursue his participation for this year too,’ Joseph said.

However, there could be more to this than meets the eye as Amitabh confirmed the parting of ways on his Twitter account but put the onus on the IIFA.

‘Not coming to Toronto IIFA…IIFA says my services are not required,’ he Tweeted.

Amitabh Bachchan Touched By Aamir Khan’s Surprise Visit

Bollywood ‘Shahenshah’ Amitabh Bachchan and perfectionist Aamir Khan has always admired each other and shares a very wonderful relation. The mutual respect between these two actors has brought them closer. Big B has always appreciated Aamir’s work and his mannerism but the duo has never acted together in any film.

Recently, Aamir gave Big B yet another reason to praise and feel good about him. Mr. Bachchan was shooting for a commercial at Mumbai’s Film City, which he inaugurated 30 years ago. He got nostalgic thinking about it and that is when Aamir dropped in to surprise Big B. He was remembering the memories of shooting on floor number one.

Later, Mr. Bachchan shared the experience and his feelings on his blog. He said that Aamir dropped on the sets in the middle of the shoot and they had wonderful chat as usual. This is a wonderful and amazing relation between these two superstars and the fans are dying to see them on screen together soon.

We hope the filmmakers will soon come with a wonderful script to bring the duo in one screen! The fans would love to see their off screen chemistry reflecting to onscreen.
