The programme,
Bachchan recites Bachchan, is being jointly organised by Prakash Jha and the Oriental Group of Institutes.
"The students at the college (run by the Institute) where we were shooting were most cooperative and I thought as a gesture of my appreciation, I would give them an evening of
Kavya Paath, Amitabh wrote on his blog.
"I need to prepare for the recital of my father's works. I need to rehearse. I need to get it correct," he said.
In the blog-post, Amitabh also referred to Madhya Pradesh government's controversial move to rename Bhopal as Bhojpal, endorsing it indirectly.
"There is a move in this city to christen it as Bhojpal, instead of present Bhopal. Bhojpal was apparently its original name, a name it got from the great warrior king, Raja Bhoj. A thousand years have passed and the city celebrates his stature and contribution as not just a valiant ruler, but one that excelled in literature and the arts and culture too," Amitabh has written.
