Amitabh comes out in support of Aamir Khan

Mumbai, May 29 (UNI) Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan has come out in support of fellow actor Aamir Khan who has been at the receiving end of the BJP's ire in Gujarat for his stand on the Narmada dam issue.

Amitabh told mediapersons here that it was incorrect to state that the film industry was not unitedly supporting Aamir.

''Everybody is supporting Aamir in their individual capacity. In a democracy, all have the right to express their views,'' he added.

Aamir's latest movie 'Fanaa' has been banned from screening in Gujarat over the actor's views on the controversial Narmada dam issue.
