Amitabh Bachchan's character in ‘Paa', Auro, is going places. He has now been chosen to be a T20 cricket commentator for the
India-Sri Lanka match, which will be on December 12. He will have to drop in expert comments in the breaks between the matches in
Auro's childish voice.
Amitabh is already preparing well for the job. The news has been confirmed by Paa's director Balki who said that Auro will be doing the
expert commentary for television for the match, which will be in Mohali.
‘Paa' has also made the necessary impact on the minds of the audience. Nitish Kumar, the Chief Minister of Bihar, has offered financial
aid to two progeric brothers in Bihar, Eqramul and Ali Hussein. Balki is happy about it but he adds that they didn't make ‘Paa' to
spotlight Progeria.
The Progeria Research Foundation of the US has expressed its interest in Paa. Balki would be glad if they could watch the film and
decide how Paa could spread awareness about the problem.
