Mumbai

Veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan believes that Indian cinema
lacks behind when it comes to preserving materials related to filmmaking.
"It
is the factor of documentation that attracts me... And I reiterate again and
again... There is complete absence of any kind of documentation, existing in the
largest film industry of the world," Amitabh wrote on his blog.
"And when
effort is made, it needs to be encouraged - not because it is conditioned to my
visuals, but should be there for the entire industry, their achievements and
contribution to this immense work force; their ideas and thoughts and
commendations," he added.
Amitabh, who can currently be seen onscreen in '102
Not Out', hopes that "someday" there will be an effort made by somebody to
preserve the history of Indian cinema.
