Amitabh Bachchan to cancel Diwali party this year

Big B’s family is known for their lavish Diwali parties. According to reports in Hindustan Times, Amitabh Bachchan decided to cancel their Diwali party. The decision has been taken into consideration due to the on-going pandemic and the demise of stars such as Rishi Kapoor. Rishi Kapoor was his close friend and he considered him his family. The Bachchan family also lost Ritu Nanda, mother-in-law of Shweta Nanda, to cancer this year.

Currently, on the acting front, Big B has three movies under him: Bhramastra, Chehere and Jhund. Apart from these movies, the actor will be collaborating with Kachche Dhaage star Ajay Devgn for the movie titled Mayday which is directed by Ajay himself. The duo will come together after a gap of seven years; they were last seen in Satyagraha released in 2013.
