Amitabh Bachchan’s young friend

Amitabh Bachchan recently threw a kiddie party for his young co-star, child actor Parth Bhalerao, aka Akhrot of Bhoothnath Returns. Our source says, Amitabh Bachchan bonded with the child actor during the shoot and has been in touch with him even after the shoot ended.

Our source from the sets says, “Bachchan would constantly call him ‘Champion’, support and guide him on how to go about the scenes. The superstar got so used to calling Parth ‘Champion’, that the word was even incorporated in some dialogues in the film. It was meant to highlight their rapport.”

The source continues, “That isn’t all. Bachchan would often cheer him up and organise special treats. When Parth, who is from Pune, would feel homesick, he would play the perfect guardian.”
