He was last seen in director Shoojit Sircar’s Gulabo Sitabo, where he starred alongside Ayushmann Khurrana. The film premiered on Amazon Prime after the coronavirus pandemic-induced nationwide lockdown.

Big B, as he is fondly called, was clinical with his efforts to help stranded migrants get back to their home-towns. He arranged special flights to help around 180 migrants to fly from Mumbai to Lucknow during last month.

The migrants from Unnao, Gonda, Lucknow, and other districts of Uttar Pradesh, have thanked the actor for his act of kindness.

Before that Bachchan had organized four special flights to send about 700 migrant workers to their homes.
