"A son e lumiere for the 'jawaans' who fight at our borders, and protect our land and give us the privilege of peaceful slumber at night. They are the true keepers of the land. They sacrifice and we merely acknowledge them," wrote Amitabh Bachchan

"He seemed to have enjoyed the 'perfect' Bengali-Hindi accent, which he felt was flawless," Big B posted on his blog

"You (Bengalis) may have your aromatic mustard maach, but giving it close competition is our (Punjabis) succulent butter chicken"

"The sessions at the gym are getting quite involved and different," Big B wrote on his blog

Set several decades apart, Piku and Byomkesh nevertheless inhabit similar worlds which orbit around the central notion of Bengaliness. Importantly, this is not Bollywood's notion of Bengaliness but an insider's view of a culture and a people

"Shweta at home, Piku in the profession, and the feel of their presence, sound and worth. I am blessed and honoured in both. My real and my reel meet up," Big B wrote on his blog

"Promotions can only do what promotions are meant to," Amitabh Bachchan posted on his blog

"I used to carry an 8mm camera with me to capture moments on shootings," Mr Bachchan posted on his blog

Amitabh Bachchan says he enjoys working in a "chaotic" environment

"They wonder and send alarms to not publicise the pictures of the film PIKU .. yet ... for they jeopardise the marketing of the other projects I work on .. which shall be released much ahead of this one," wrote the actor

"350 rupees a month gone for bed and lodging, food separate, eating the pani puri or the puchka pani at Victoria Memorial. 2 rupees would fill the stomach thats it and done for the entire day ... looking forward to the free office lunch the next morning!," wrote Big B on his blog
