Born on October 11, 1942, Amitabh Bachchan is turning 80 today. Out of this, he has spent more than 50 years in films. There are stars in the film industry, there are superstars and there are megastars too. But there is only one superhero – Amitabh Bachchan.
The journey of films which started with Saat Hindustani continues till Brahmastra and Goodbye. 4-5 films are in the line for release. In the 8th decade of life, Amitabhji is acting like a young age star.
In 110 years of Indian cinema, 50 years belong to Amitabhji. It is almost impossible, to sum up, these 50 years together. How unfulfilled love from a girl in Kolkata brought Amitabhji to Mumbai. Here All India Radio films were rejected in one audition after another. Got a film Saat Hindustani, but flopped. 12 out of 14 films were flops and my career was almost over. Then got the Zanjeer. Zanjeer tied Bollywood and Amitabh together in such a way that even today it is not possible to think of these two separately.
In the year 2000, when people started talking about his career being ‘over’, Amitabh Bachchan, who has won 3 National Awards since then, is present on TV with the 14th season of ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’. He appeared in an important role in the biggest Bollywood film ‘Brahmastra’ of 2022 and is currently seen in ‘Good Bye’ in theatres.
