In 2015, senior Bachchan played the father of Deepika Padukone in Shoojit Sircar's Indian comedy drama film Piku.

The story of the movie revolves around the short-tempered Piku Banerjee (Deepika), her grumpy, ageing father Bhashkor (Big B) and Rana Chaudhary (Irrfan Khan), who is stuck between the father-daughter duo, as they embark on a journey from Delhi to Kolkata.

Earlier, Ranveer Singh on Tuesday also took to photo-blogging site Instagram and shared his excitement and zeal with the world.

" (I got my award) Mujhe mera award mil gaya...😇🙏🏽 @amitabhbachchan," Ranveer wrote.
