Patna - The government has invited Amitabh Bachchan and other actors of Bihar origin for Bihar Diwas centenary celebration in March.

He said Bollywood personalities like Shatrughan Sinha, Prakash Jha, Udit Narayan, Shekhar Suman, Manoj Bajpayee and Neetu Chandra have also been invited.

A brainchild of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Bihar Diwas was first celebrated in 2010.
