Amitabh Bachchan calls himself disciple of Sivaji Ganesan
Chennai, April 4
Megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who is all set to make his Tamil debut with ‘Uyarntha Manithan’, has called himself a disciple of late southern superstar Sivaji Ganesan.
The 76-year-old thespian shared a still from ‘Uyarntha Manithan’ on Twitter late on Wednesday, showing him and actor-filmmaker SJ Suryah standing next to a wall with a photograph of Ganesan.
"Two disciples under the shadow of the master—Sivaji Ganesan—Surya and self! Shivaji the ultimate, iconic (and) legend of Tamil Cinema. His picture adorns the wall. An artist of such immensity and incredible talent. My respect and admiration. I touch his feet!" Big B captioned the image.
