Big B Amitabh Bachchan turns 80; ‘Goodbye’ Tickets priced at Rs 80
In a glorious career spanning more than 50 years, Big B has constantly reinvented himself to fit with the times.
TNI Bureau: Amitabh Bachchan enjoys a reputation in Indian cinema that makes him almost synonymous with the film industry. In a glorious career spanning more than 50 years, Big B has constantly reinvented himself to fit with the times.
His career can neatly be divided into multiple phases, which sometimes overlap or repeat. Kicking off his career with 1969’s ‘Saat Hindustani’, it did not take a lot of time for him to establish himself and he proved to be the king of the 1970s.
He later appeared as Dr Bhaskar Banerjee in Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s ‘Anand’ (1971), for which he won the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor.
Prakash Mehra’s action film ‘Zanjeer’ (1973) established Bachchan as a star to look out for in the industry and since then, he has enthralled audiences with versatile roles.
While he never returned to being the top box office draw, he did ensconce himself as a megastar whose showing up in movies would increase the film’s credibility, if not chances of it being successful at the box office.
The superstar turned 80 today with giving us so much treat to our eyes.
