But the reports of Amitabh charging Rs 4 crore for it went viral and the Piku actor was even questioned for his patriotism. And now Cricket Association of Bengal's president Saurav Ganguly has rubbished all such reports and confirmed that the megastar didn't charge a single penny for it.

In an interview with Anandabazar Patrika, Ganguly was all praises for the Deewaar actor. He said, "Mr Bachchan is one and only, a special person. I am eternally grateful to him."

The former caption of India also told the Bengal's leading daily, "Can you ever imagine someone paying Rs 30 lakhs of his own pocket to perform? He booked his own flight, bought his own tickets and even paid the hotel bills. I literally begged him to take some money but he said that I am doing it for love and there is no question of money being involved".

Yesterday, ICC's offical account even shared the video of the Sholay actor singing the national athem.
