"T 1770 - 15th Feb .. !! historic date for me .. on this date 46 years ago in 1969, I signed my 1st film to join the Film Industry," Bachchan said.

In his last tweet, he said: "T 1770 - Hahahahahahahah .. maybe I should do more commentary !!! hahahahaha .. !!"

The commentary was done as  an integration between broadcaster Star Sports and the makers of Bollywood film "Shamitabh".

The film had released on Feb 6.

Directed by R. Balki, 'Shamitabh' features Bachchan, southern superstar  Dhanush and Akshara Haasan.

Actor Kamal Haasan's daughter Akshara made her Bollywood debut with this film.
