Amitabh Bachchan - All Praise For Slumdog Millionaire

Bollywood legendary star  Amitabh Bachchan, who had stoked a controversy by slamming Slumdog Millionaire, today said the movie was “wonderful” and expressed happiness that composer A.R. Rahman won three Oscar nominations for his score and songs in the movie.

“The sound engineer of this wonderful movie Slumdog Millionaire, Rasool, an Indian, has also won a nomination along with Rahman. I am so happy. Bhanu Athaiya was the last Indian to win an Oscar for the designing the costumes of Richard Attenborough’s ‘Gandhi’ in 1982,” Bachchan said at an overflowing venue at the Jaipur Literature Festival.

The superstar was in Jaipur for a day to release his biography, “Bachchanalia: The Films and Memorabilia of Amitabh Bachchan”, spanning 40 years of his career in the Hindi film industry. Source
