TIL Desk Bollywood/ If you were one among the many people who were absolutely done listening to Amitabh Bachchan every time you made a call, then there’s news for you! Just two days ahead of the COVID-19 vaccination drive, the caller tune featuring Amitabh Bachchan’s voice has been replaced with a new one.
Since March last year, when the novel coronavirus caused a pandemic, Amitabh Bacchan’s voice was used as caller tune all over India, enumerating all safety measures one must take to avoid COVID-19. Now as India gets ready to be vaccinated, the caller tune appeals to the citizens to have faith in the vaccine and not believe in rumours.
The previous caller tune featuring Amitabh Bachchan’s voice has faced a lot of resentment as people complained that they were being forced to listen to the caller tune every time they had to make a call. There was even a PIL filed in the Delhi High Court, asking for the tune to be dropped.
