New Delhi: English author Jessica Hines has described Amitabh Bachchan as the "uber-god" of Indian cinema in an unauthorised biography of the Bollywood superstar.
The book was released in London on Wednesday night in a glittering function held at 'Sitaaray', an Indian restaurant quite aptly adorned with posters and photographs of Bollywood cine stars.
Hines also read excerpts from her 287-page book titled "Looking For The Big B" to a packed gathering present at the function.
The book takes a fascinating peek at the Mumbai film industry and also tells the story of a very unlikely friendship between Jessica and the 'Superstar of the Millennium'.
"He is India's most legendary film star - a cross between Clint Eastwood, Al Pacino, Elvis, and with more than a hint of John Travolta," as quoted by PTI, Jessica wrote in the book, her maiden venture.
"In a country like India where film stars are treated as gods, Amitabh Bachchan is the uber-god, the Big B."
Amitabh Bachchan has sent a congratulatory message to the author on the occasion.
