Amitabh Bachchan released a book that sarod maestro Amjad Ali Khan had penned on his late father Hafiz Ali Khan, on December 13 at a suburban hotel in Mumbai.

Titled My Father, Our Fraternity: The Story of Hafiz Ali Khan And My World, the book has been published by Roli Books.

Amitabh -- accompanied by son Abhishek and his wife Aishwarya Rai -- joined Amjad Ali Khan's family on stage -- wife Subhalakshmi, sons Ayaan and Amaan and Ayaan's wife Neema.
