Megastar Amitabh Bachchan’s ‘Bhootnath Return’s’ private screening was held Rashtrapati Bhavan. The actor had the President of India Pranab Mukherjee for company. Amidst the hustle and bustle of Lok Sabha elections, President Pranab Mukherjee spent a relaxed evening with Amitabh Bachchan watching ‘Bhootnath Returns’ with select gathering.
As per sources, in ‘Bhootnath Returns’ Big B plays a ghost-turned-politician who enters the electoral fray to rid the country of corruption and other ills which he finds rooted deeply. The movie also sends a strong message about the importance of voting.
Amitabh Bachchan said, it was a rare honour for him and the crew that the President consented to watch ‘Bhootnath Returns’. “We weren’t expecting that the President would agree to a screening here, considering his busy schedule. But this is pertinent to the current scenario and is topical and relevant at present. I wanted the head of nation to watch it and give his opinion about it.”
