His mere presence during the launch of a film, inspires the artistes and crew members. Amitabh Bachchan still tops the popularity chart in the film industry. On Wednesday evening he was chief guest during the launch of forthcoming Marathi film ‘Bhikari’ to be directed by well known Bollywood choreographer Ganesh Acharya. Produced by Sharad Shelar, the film stars Marathi super star Swwapnil Joshi and Rucha Inamdar, who is making her debut in Marathi. This film is a remake of a popular Tamil film ‘Pichaikkaran’, which has also dubbed in Telugu.
Mr. Amitabh Bachchan who is always punctual ,arrived at the scheduled time, showing the way to Marathi film industry, to start such functions in time. Tiger Shroff, who was also one of the guests of honour, was also invited to the dais to join the ceremony, in which Mr. Bachchan gave the muhurat clap. All those dignitaries present on the dais made short speeches wishing the makers a grand success. Popular Marathi actress Pooja Sawant anchored the show.
Also present for the function were other important artistes of this film, Sayaji Shinde, Manoj Joshi, Milind Shinde, Guru Thakur, Kirti Adarkar, Sunil Pal & Pradeep kabra. Among those who attended this function to wish the makers of this film were film makers Ajay Phansekar, Milind Kavde and others. Ganesh Acharya who is making his debut as a director in Marathi through this film, was seen in a new look, losing about 30 to 40 kgs of extra weight on his body.
Pooja Sawant survives, despite major fire during her event
The occasion was celebration on the occasion of ‘make in India’ event Maharashtra Rajani, at Mumbai’s Girgaon chaupati. It all happened, all of a sudden, as if it was a shooting for an action film. Big ‘B’ Amitabh Bachchan had just finished his event and popular Marathi actress Pooja Sawant stepped in to perform the popular Lavani ‘Mala Jaoo Dya Na Ghari…’ along with a group of dancers.
Though people seated in the front rows, including VIPs like chief minister of Maharashtra and delegates of different countries could see the fire spreading under the stage, actress Pooja Sawant and her group kept on going. Perhaps, they might have thought that it was artificially created smoke, which we usually see during such events. But, it was only when the security people went close to the stage shouting and asking them to leave the stage, they realized some trouble and left the podium.
There were many others, including actor Shreyas Talpade , Anchor Vivek Oberoi and 500 performers, including children, who were immediately shifted to a safer place. Though, it was a quick rescue operation, with no injuries, reported, Pooja is yet to recover from the shock.

She was invited as a very special guest to entertain the first participant in Mr. Bachchan’s new TV reality show ‘Aaj Ki Raat Hai Zindagi’.
