Megastar Amitabh Bachchan will address young, dynamic and vibrant minds at the India Today Mind Rocks Youth Summit at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium here on Saturday.

With his overwhelming yet enigmatic presence, the actor will enthral the audience at the India Today exclusive event to be held at the weightlifting indoor auditorium, said a statement.

"When something is really legendary they say it is the Amitabh Bachchan of that genre or category. So we are really excited to get Big B to Mind Rocks because it makes us feel like the Amitabh Bachchan of youth summits," Kalli Purie, Group Editorial Director (Broadcast and New Media), India Today Group, said of Big B's presence at the event.

"Amit ji is a shining example of an impeccable work ethic and an undying passion for work. I hope that the young participants take that one thing away from the summit," she added.

The day-long event is designed to bring together the brightest young minds from around the country to interact with their star icons in an open two-way interaction. Also joining him will be director Shoojit Sircar and actress Taapsee Pannu, who have worked with Big B for "Pink".

While Sircar has co-produced the project, Taapsee has shared screen space with the 73-year-old veteran actor in the movie.
