Big B, via his blog, revealed that Kodak will open its facility here in March. "It is all about to change yet again Kodak, that largest name for film, is coming back. Many in the world of direction and production find value in shooting on film. Like Dunkirk, by Christopher Nolan who uses only film for his pictures. And in a month or so, the man himself Mr Nolan is coming to India to inaugurate or at least lend his support," Amitabh wrote.

The cine icon, 75, is upbeat about the development as just last month, he was contemplating why the cinema world is still referred to as the "film industry" in the digital age. Hollywood, he says, is getting back to film, again.

Amitabh also tweeted his excitement on Kodak film's comeback to India.
