An industry source says, "Apparently, Amitabh Bachchan is starting a news channel called India 24/7 and the preparations for starting it, is on in full swing. It is being planned in collaboration with a big corporate house. Of course, right now nobody wants to confirm anything and everything is hush-hush."
The source continues, "The idea for Amitabh Bachchan launching a new channel came while he was shooting for Ram Gopal Varma's Rann. Bachchan plays Harshvardhan Malik, the owner of a TV channel in the film. When Ramu and Bachchan were discussing the script in the initial stages, it was Bachchan's idea that Ramu name his channel, India 24/7. Now the channel which Bachchan is apparently planning to launch is also called India 24/7. That can hardly be a co-incidence."
Anyway trivia is Big-B was rejected by AIR in his early days..
Now the official version by Man himself on his blog
Except for the odd pestering sms from media. ‘ Sir I believe you are starting a news channel called INDIA 24/7.’
Ha .. ha ..
How does one respond to such stupidity. The editor of a large film magazine calls, all from my fraternity, as being schmucks !! But most of her editorial smirks of nothing else but the unethical culture of stars, their attitudes, language and behavior. Why do so when you consider them to be all in the horrid word you wrote to describe situation earlier on !!
