Hoarding invoking Big B's 'Don' against COVID-19 removed

    Aurangabad, Jul 18 (PTI) A hoarding of megastar
Amitabh Bachchan with a famous dialogue from the 1978
blockbuster "Don" on coronavirus awareness has been removed
from a village in Maharashtra's Osmanabad district in view of
"sentiments" of his fans, an official said on Saturday.
    The hoarding with an old photo of Bachchan carried a
message in Marathi asking people to remain indoors in view of
the coronavirus pandemic.
    Referring to the dialogue in the movie, the message
reads: "the don whose capture was not only difficult but
impossible, has been caught by coronavirus...stay at home for
your families and do not unnecessarily try to become a 'don'".
    Lohara Nagar Panchayat chief officer Gajanan Shinde
said, "We had designed this banner to create awareness about
coronavirus and displayed it. But looking after sentiments of
fans of Amitabh Bachchan here, we have removed it".
