An unauthorised biography of Amitabh Bachchan was released in the British capital by the English author who described the Bollywood mega superstar as the 'Uber-God' of Indian cinema.

Jessica Hines also read excerpts from her 287-page book titled "Looking for the Big B" Wednesday night to a packed gathering at 'Sitaaray', an Indian restaurant quite aptly adorned with posters and photographs of Bollywood cine stars.

The book takes a fascinating peek at the Mumbai film industry and also tells the story of a very unlikely friendship between Jessica and the 'Superstar of the Millennium'.

"He is India's most legendary film star - a cross between Clint Eastwood, Al Pacino, Elvis, and with more than a hint of John Travolta," Jessica wrote in the book, her maiden venture.

"In a country like India where film stars are treated as Gods, Amitabh Bachchan is the Uber-God, the Big B."

Bachchan sent a congratulatory message to the author on the occasion.
