The city witnessed some super star power, beginning this week. The Big B himself came down to promote his new film Aarakshan based on the issue of reservation with co-star Deepika Padukone and director Prakash Jha. The stars landed in the city early and went on a whirlwind tour of promoting their film at a city institute where Amitabh Bachchan and the rest of the cast addressed the waiting students.
This was followed by students thronging the dias just to get up, close & personal with their idol and to get some autographs. Following this, a press conference was held at a city five star hotel where anotheru00a0 discussion followed.
But no one owned up to the big question of whether there should be reservation or not. Deepika looked chic in a vintage floral printed strappy top and white linen pallazo pants, while the Big B changed from his casual trainers-white shirt look to a sharp suit.
