An Amitabh Bachchan fan has penned a Sanskrit poem on a 101-metre-long scroll of paper as an invocation to the Bollywood superstar whom he treats as a "God".
The poem covers the journey from 'Saat Hindustani' to Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag and the "ups and downs" encountered by the millennium star along the way.
"Amitabh is my God and I am his priest. Whenever I land in any trouble, I always remember him to get out of it," Jitendra Shivhare claims.
'Shivhare', who has titled the creation 'Bachchan Mahakavya', is currently pursuing a BA in Sanskrit from Devi Ahilyabai Vishwa Vidyalaya in Indore.
Meanwhile, Uttar Pradesh government is in no mood to let the mega-star off the hook as hectic efforts are on to complete procedural formalities for the government to take the battle to Supreme Court by month-end.
The motive is to seek setting aside of the blanket ban on prosecution of Bachchan imposed by the Lucknow bench of Allahabad High Court.
"This will be followed with investigations to identify the culprit behind fudging of records in gramsabha registers," a government source said.
