Dairy giant Amul, known for its witty and funny take on current affairs, honoured megastar Amitabh Bachchan on his 80th birthday on Tuesday with an adorable art.

In the birthday creative, the brand said that it has been a Bachchan fan forever - with help of a little word-play.

Adding a birthday twist to Bachchan's famous song 'John Jani Janardhan' from the 1981 film 'Naseeb', the Gujarat-based brand called it a 'John Jaani Janamdin ka treat!'

In the creative, the Big B's animated avatar can be seen sitting on the hot seat, synonymous with the quiz show 'Kaun Banega Crorepati', as the Utterly-Butterly girl, posing as Bachchan, presents him with a birthday cake.

This year, the thespian also starred in director Nagraj Manjule's sports drama 'Jhund', Ajay Devgn-led 'Runway 34' and Ranbir Kapoor-starrer 'Brahmastra: Part One: Shiva'.
