Amitabh Bachchan gives befitting reply to trolls calling him ‘buddha', ‘senile' and ‘arrogant': ‘Your calculator says the same about you'
Veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan on Monday took to his X handle to share his post for the day. Trolls, who couldn't understand the context of the post, flooded the comments section with derogatory messages. While Amitabh usually refrains from engaging with trolls, this time he chose to respond. On Monday, the actor posted on X, 'Ji Huzur, mai bhi ek prashansak hu. Toh? (Yes sir, I am a fan too.. So?)' This post attracted many comments, with some even claiming that they are annoyed with his warning against cyber crime on mobile phones. A user wrote, 'Ab log apke awaz sunna pasand nahi kar rahe hai calls se paresha hai awaz se (People are now getting annoyed with your voice on calls).' Amitabh Bachchan quickly replied, 'Sarkaar se kaho (Say that to the government).' Another user wrote, 'Buddha sathiya gaya (He has gone senile).' To this, the actor replied, 'Ek din bhagwan na karein who jaldi aaye, ap bhi sathiya jaayenge. Parantu humarein yaha kahawat hai — jo satha, who patha (God forbid it comes soon — you will grow senile. But we have a saying here: 'The older, the wiser).'

Another comment read, 'Thoda logic lagaiye, itna attitude toh calculator bhi nahi dikhata (Put some thoughts to yours tweets, even calculator doesn't have so much attitude).' To this, Amitabh Bachchan replied, 'Apka calculator bhi apke baarein mein yehi keh raha hai — overthinking! (Your calculator says the same about you)' When a user wrote, 'Aur aalochak? (Who is the critic?),' the actor responded, 'You're the critic because it is your job to criticise people. Your criticism is welcomed. Your job is secure.'

Censors block Union minister's film after objections to 'Janaki' in title
KOCHI: A censorship row has broken out after CBFC blocked the release of Malayalam film 'Janaki V/S State of Kerala', reportedly due to objections over the title character 'Janaki', another name of Goddess Sita. Starring Union minister Suresh Gopi and Anupama Parameswaran, the film was scheduled for release on June 27 but was denied screening clearance at the last minute. Directed by Pravin Narayanan, the courtroom drama centres around a lead named Janaki. He confirmed the film would not be released as planned. Film Employees Federation of Kerala general secretary B Unnikrishnan said the organisation would not hesitate to launch a protest against the CBFC's decision. "The story is about the legal fight carried out by an assaulted woman against the state. It is said (by the Board) that Goddess Sita's name cannot be given to the woman character who suffered assault," he said. (With agency inputs)
