Amitabh Bachchan, Sidharth Malhotra

Last night, the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) came to a close in Goa and our Bollywood celebs shined at the festival. Amitabh Bachchan was honoured with the Indian Film Personality of the Year award. Actors like Akshay Kumar and Sidharth Malhotra also paid a tribute to the legendary actor. But it was Sidharth Malhotra’s befitting tribute to the veteran actor as he performed on some of his famous Bachchan tracks like ‘Kahika Paan Banaras Wala’, ‘Saara Zamaana Haseeno Ka Deewana’ that was the highlight of the evening.

He shared pictures and videos too from the extravaganza night. He tweeted, “An actor, a gentleman, an inspiration that transcends generations,There is only one Amitabh Bachchan ! I feel blessed to be an actor in the same era as you sir ,today’s performance was a small thank you from your biggest fan, Love you @SrBachchan sir”

On the work front, the actor had two releases this year in the form of ‘A Gentleman – Sundar, Susheel, Risky’ and ‘Ittefaq’. Unfortunately the movie ‘A Gentleman’ which starred him opposite Jacqueline Fernandez failed at the box office, but fortunately, ‘Ittefaq’ which also starred Sonakshi Sinha and Akshaye Khanna turned out to be a hit and also amassed acclaim for the actor. In fact, it is said to be Sidharth’s finest performance till date. (Also Read: #OOTD: Sidharth Malhotra’s dapper look is making us skip our heartbeat!)

Talking of his forthcoming projects, he will be seen in Neeraj Pandey’s ‘Aiyaary’ which also stars Manoj Bajpayee. In the movie, Sidharth will be seen playing the role of an army officer for the first time. The movie is slated to hit the screens on January 26 next year. It will be clashing with Akshay Kumar’s ‘Padman’. Considering that Akshay Kumar and Neeraj Pandey go back a long way, it will be interesting to see the clash of these movies at the box office.
