The bike ride reminded him of his college days and fun times of group picnics. He took to his blog and wrote about his weekly Sunday meeting with fans outside his house, the bike ride, and more.  

“Sunday permissions are given to specific regions which can be blocked off for the work we do .. and this is work and the well wishers after work.

ride on the bike and the driving enthusiasm never does run away .. the early years come tumbling by in the thoughts and the mind .. those College days and the group picnics and the odd occasion when the family car was allowed to be used .. such fun times .. carefree and just,” he wrote. 

He also wrote that he often wants to take over the car and drive himself to work and raised concern about the people who drive recklessly and break traffic rules. 

“many  a time there is desire to take over the vehicle and drive it to work .. for the way and the method the carrier drives is of concern .. is of the breaking of regulations .. is the unknown factor of how did they get these driving licenses, when their basic skills are challenged .. no helmet, no regulation or discipline to adhere and respect traffic signals .. blatantly dis regarding them and giving a damn to the law or the rules ..  

the frustrating turns to anger and often is the urge to get out of the car and give them a telling .. but the obvious restraints prevent it ,” he wrote in his blog. 

On the work front, Amitabh will be seen in Project K, which also stars Prabhas and Deepika Padukone. The film is directed by Nag Ashwin. 
 
He will also be seen in the courtroom drama 'Section 84' by Ribhu Dasgupta.
