Megastar Amitabh Bachchan, an active social media user, greeted his fans with a Speaking Picture (Voxie) on the first Monday of 2016, via VoxWeb app.

The cine icon tweeted: "Technology never ceases to amuse me! Just discovered Speaking Pics and I already like the idea!"

"Hi am Amitabh Bachchan here. I wish all my fans prosperous 2016," the 73-year-old said in the Voxie, which has been liked by over 90 users so far.

VoxWeb allows creation of speaking pictures to capture and share moments by providing an option to add voice to an image for up to 11 seconds.

A speaking picture is depicted as an image underlined by orange line. The created speaking picture can be sent interpersonally to contacts through the VoxWeb messenger or displayed publicly in the social section of VoxWeb.

When any user receives or comes across a picture with an orange line then he or she can touch the picture to hear it.
