Big B to fly down to Patna to watch his upcoming film 'Aarakshan' with Bihar CM Nitish Kumar at the latter's request

Amitabh Bachchan has decided to make yet another ardent admirer Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar happy. The Big B will fly to Patna to watch his upcoming film Aarakshan with the politician after the latter expressed this desire to the movie's producer-director Prakash Jha.

Says Jha, "Nitishji, who is a very dear friend, came to visit a new restaurant at my shopping mall in Patna. My representatives there invited him for a special screening of Aarakshan on my behalf. He made it clear he would watch it only in Mr Bachchan and my presence."

Once Jha conveyed the minister's request to the actor, he immediately agreed to fly down to Patna for a day despite his busy schedule. His travel arrangements to the city are currently being made.

The Chief Minister is apparently a big movie buff, but doesn't get too much time to fulfill this indulgence. "The last film he saw was Raajneeti, and he loved it. He expressed a desire to see the films as this too has a strong political theme, " says a source.

Aarakshan revolves around caste-based reservations in government jobs and educational institutions. Besides Big B, the film also stars Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, Manoj Bajpai and Prateik.
