Amitabh Bachchan called grandson Agastya Nanda special ahead of the release of his highly-awaited war drama Ikkis, which is expected to reach the cinema halls in December. 

Big B penned a heartfelt note for Agastya in his blog. Recalling how he once held the little one in his hands, he penned, "Agastya ! I held you in my hands as soon as you were born .. few months later, I held you again in my hands and your soft fingers reached out to play with my beard ..TODAY you play in Theatres all over the World ..(sic)."
