Amitabh Bachchan was the chief-guest at the launch of 17 year old Aditya Thackeray''s music album titled ''Umeed'' in Mumbai yesterday.

Joining the actor on stage was none other than Shiv Sena Supremo, Shri. Bal Thackeray, who like always was at his usual humorous best.

Since both the actor and the political leader were sporting a similar white beard, Bal Thackeray pulled a fast one on Big B telling everyone how he was criticized by some for imitating the superstar. Needless to say the crowd broke into laughter.

The evening was a special one for Udhav Thackeray and his son Aditya, who has been writing poems in English, Hindi, and Marathi since the age of 14.

But the highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the camaraderie between the Real life Sarkar and the Reel life Sarkar.
