Amitabh Bachchan to be honoured at Melbourne Film festival

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan will be honoured at the upcoming Melbourne International Film festival (MIFF). The festival will also see a retrospective of the 70-year-old actor, who is currently shooting for Prakash Jha's Satyagraha in Bhopal.

"There is the Melbourne Film festival, where they do a retrospective of mine and give me honour. Then I travel back to Bhopal in a few to complete Satyagraha, to finish by the end of the month of April and then immediately set off for New York, to be with The Great Gatsby and its premier on the 1st of May," Bachchan posted on his blog.

He added, "At the end of all this I would require a year to recover from symptoms of acute delusion as to what, where and why I am?" The Melbourne International Film festival is commencing from July 25.
