Big B unveiled the film's official trailer on Wednesday along with the other actors and the film's director Shoojit Sircar.
Post the event, the 72-year-old took to his blog and shared the experience of the event.
He wrote: "At the press release (launch) of the trailer today we called the press and asked them to bring their parents along... it was so wonderful to be in their company ...to see their children conduct their jobs, that of journalists, which perhaps they never get to see... and then meeting all of them on stage and getting a picture taken was just amazing."
