Big Bs media tycoon role raises eyebrows with media

AB: My strength has always been my wife, my children, my parents, my friends. They are my strength and even you are my strength, the media.
I believe that if you represent a particular electronic channel and if you thought that we will not be associated with him, but Im not certain whether the rest of the media will be part of it.

VO: Why is there a difference of opinion on the media? Should we consider this as another episode of the love-hate relationship with the media?

Big Bs relationship with the media is sometimes sweet and sometimes bitter. So now that AB is going to play a role of a media tycoon in Ram Gopal Varmas Run, this has brought a twist to the love-hate relationship with the media.

AB: There was a misunderstanding earlier in my career, when it was assumed that during the time of the emergency that it was I who was responsible for the ban on the press. It was hogwash; it had no meaning at all. But, because the media did ban me as a result of that misbelief.

VO: Big B precisely talked about this issue. But according to the entertainment industry, they blame it on him. Before the 1975 Emergency, AB was given such an exposure in Cine Magazine that after the super star Rajesh Khanna, Amitabh was considered a big star.
