Superstar Amitabh Bachchan took a walk on the wild side and had a memorable sighting of the lions of the Gir Lion Sanctuary while shooting a promotional ad for Gujarat tourism.

“A 5am call and what a call..Into the forest and within a few hours, a miracle, 8-9 of them, an entire pride of Lions! Unbelievable. The lions walked past me just 5 feet away. Amazing! Male, female and cubs, walked straight up to me, looked and went by!!(sic),” the sixty-seven year old superstar wrote on his Twitter page.

Big B also blogged images of himself at the sanctuary and also of the lions he clicked. In the images he’s seen wearing a blue shirt, grey pants and a jute hat.

He also wrote about his lion sighting experience on his blog.

“...There they (lions) were .. three females .. panting heavily because of the heat under the sparse shade of dry fierce looking branches of fallen and lifeless tree,” Big B blogged.
