Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan is keen to watch Wednesday's India-Pakistan World Cup semi-final, which he says has caused "unbelievable frenzy".

"Pakistan is our neighbour. How we all wish that it were ‘simple, warm in spirit and with togetherness'!" he posted on his blog.

The 68-year-old is keeping a tab on various details regarding the match to be played at Mohali.

"The winner goes to the final. There is unbelievable frenzy on this match. The entire country shall be coming to a stop while it is on. As will Pakistan.

"The stadium has been sold out long before the start of the game. Touts are making a killing on the tickets. TV channels are building this up to the hilt. Nothing on any channel is of relevance except the cricket to happen [today]. There is nothing that occupies anyone's conversation, but the game."
