The coronavirus lockdown has brought everything to a standstill and hence with nothing new to offer, not only netizens, celebrities too are now relying on throwbacks and nostalgia to keep their social media accounts updated and their fans entertained. Recently, Amitabh Bachchan took to social media to celebrate 37 years of his film Mahaan. Interestingly, the actor had a different approach for two of his social media platforms. While Big B tweeted about playing a triple role in the film, his Instagram post was a rather different one from the film. It seems Mr Bachchan has found the fix to get "big numbers" on Instagram and the way to do it is by posting a bikini pic. Of course, being unable to do that, the actor shared something that comes close according to him. Amitabh Bachchan – Ayushmann Khurrana Starrer Gulabo Sitabo to Get Digital Release?
