Osian’s launches its Publishing House with the release of Bachchanalia in Mumbai on 3 Jan 2009

Bachchanalia was released successfully at the launch of Osian’s full-fledged Publishing and Design House in Mumbai on 3 Jan 2009 at NCPA in Mumbai by Guest of Honour, Aamir Khan. Amitabh Bachchan who graced the occasion along with Jaya Bachchan, Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was felicitated with a tribute paid to his remarkable career spanning four decades by Mani Kaul, Aamir Khan, Neville Tuli and Bhawana Somaaya. A unique and invigorating session between Mr. Neville Tuli, Founder-Chairman, Osian’s and Mr. Bachchan on various artistic and educational issues was also held post the launch. It was overwhelming to witness a book launch of such magnitude for the sheer number of people and media the event attracted.

"Since I come from a film family, we had copies of Filmfare magazine which carried pictures of young actors struggling to make a mark in the industry. As a kid, I recall laughing with disdain at some pictures of young people who were aspiring to become actors. As I grew up, I hung my head in shame that one of the picture which I laughed at was that of Amitabh Bachchan," said Aamir Khan at the launch in Mumbai.
