Amitabh
Bachchan
completed
the
first
Kullu-Manali
schedule
of
his
Shoojit
Sircar
directed
Shoebite,
a
day
before
Republic
Day.
We
are
the
only
source
who
have
been
bringing
you
exclusive
day-to-day
account
straight
from
the
Valley
of
the
Gods.
We
now
think
that
the
time
is
appropriate
to
address
the
question
that
our
patrons
must
be
itching
to
ask
us
-
Why
such
a
strange
title
like
Shoebite?
Well,
one
of
the
scenes
picturised
a
couple
of
days
back
at
the
Snow
and
Avalanche
Study
Establishment
(SASE),
Manali,
gives
the
answer
to
the
above
query.
The
centre
was
converted
into
a
hospital
and
acting
as
one
of
the
patients
was
Amitabh
Bachchan.
He
had
been
admitted
to
the
hospital
due
to
acute
foot
injuries
inflicted
by
his
own
frugal
footwear.
The
scene
deciphers
the
mystery
of
the
strange
title.
While
on
the
megastar,
Amitabh
Bachchan
left
Manali
early
on
26th
January
to
Chandigarh
and
headed
for
Daulatpur
in
Fatehpur
(Uttar
Pradesh),
where
he
along
with
his
family,
Jaya,
Abhishek,
Aishwarya
and
close
friend
Amar
Singh,
laid
the
foundation
stone
of
the
'Aishwarya
Rai
Kanya
Mahavidyalaya',
at
a
function
on
Sunday.
The
Big
B
is
expected
to
move
to
the
Himachal
Pradesh
capital,
Shimla
shortly
(Hotel
Willow
Banks)
for
the
next
outdoor
schedule
of
the
movie.
And
we
will
be
there
to
tell
you
about
it!
