Watch the word when Amitabh Bachchan is around. The Big B is a perfectionist and invariably corrects when he hears names being pronounced wrong.
That perfectionist streak was in evidence once again earlier this week at the music launch of his "Dev" directed by Govind Nihalani of "Ardh Satya" and "Drohkaal" fame. When a new compere Sajid Haroon pronounced director Govind Nihalani and the producer Pravin Nischol's names incorrectly, Amitabh pointed out the mistake before proceeding with his speech.
It was a bit of a chaotic launch with a small venue and big stars. Amitabh was surrounded by camera crews eager to get a sound byte from him. Jaya Bachchan actually lost her cool when some crews tried to shoot her while she was giving interviews to other channels.
But all were finally happy. In spite of Amar Singh telling the channels they were getting late for the marriage of Aishwarya Rai's brother, Amitabh made sure he appeased all the TV channels present with some bytes on "Dev".
Besides Amitabh Bachchan, the film stars Om Puri, Fardeen Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Amrish Puri.
