On
Thursday,
he
launched
his
production
house
‘MovieTone'.
At
the
launch,
he
said,
"I
will
always
be
an
actor.
It
is
just
that
I
have
found
a
new
craft,
writing.
Ever
since
I
was
a
kid
I
used
to
write
but
was
writing
badly."
Amitabh
Bachchan
Unveiled
The
Logo
The
event
was
inaugurated
by
Amitabh
Bachchan,
who
unveiled
the
logo
of
the
production
company.
Speaking
to
the
media,
Amitabh
said,
"I
have
always
believed
that
a
writer
is
the
most
important
person
in
a
project.
They
conceive
the
story,
write
the
screenplay,
they
conceive
the
artists
and
how
they
will
perform.
It
is
a
great
moment
that
you
(Boman
Irani)
have
decided
to
recognize
this
important
aspect
in
Filmmaking
and
my
congratulations
to
you."

the
years,
I

to
learn
the
craft
by
reading
books

I
met
Alex
in
New
York.
He
is
like
my
brother.
We
discussed
my
script
and
he
encouraged
me."

We
have
Alex
to
help
young
writers.
The
first
production
hopefully

the
one

I
have
written

if
something
else

then
(we'll
focus
on)

a
good
cinema
on
screen,"
