The 'PINK' star gave the information on his official Twitter page. Though, no reason was given by the star.

He wrote, "No, there is no celebration of any kind for the 75th and there's no possibility of my presence here in the city. They speculate. They aver they get to know from their 'sources', details which can be completely wrong at times...one wishes to be those sources - for us, never ever know who or what they are."

 

Meanwhile, on the work front, Amitabh Bachchan will next be seen in 'Thugs of Hindostan', which marks his first on-screen collaboration with Aamir Khan.
