Aab iske aage bolunga toh bologe ke bolta hai!😛Chalo phirbi bol hi dete hai! 😳
(Gosh, it feels like "Tumhara naam kya hai, Basanti?"😛😆😆)
Bachchan was born in the city of Allahabad, India. His father, Harivansh Rai Bachchan, was a well-known poet. The original last name of the family was "Srivastav"; "Bachchan" was in fact a pen name used by his father. However, when Bachchan entered films he did so under his father's pen name. Now he is never known as anything but Amitabh Bachchan.
Big B first film, Saat Hindustani – his only black-and-white film – was released in 1969. For his role, Bachchan was paid the meager sum of 5,000 rupees. Most people would have thought that his six co-stars were much more likely to achieve stardom than he was; they were all related to film-industry insiders, while he was a gangling outsider from the north. Who knew the tall, skinny guy will do such wonders later! 😆😆
Beteween 1969 and 1973, the date of his first real hit, Bachchan's career was stalled. He did win a FilmFare Award for "Best Supporting Actor" for his work in Anand, but this did not translate into the kind of fame that brought audiences into theatres just to see his face again.
Two 1973 films are said to have launched Bachchan as a star. In Abhimaan, he played a singer who succumbs to jealousy. A strong score by music director S.D. Burman and real chemistry with his co-star (and later, wife) Jaya Badhuri, brought crowds to the theatres. Also in 1973, director Prakash Mehra cast Bachchan as Inspector Vijay Khanna in the film Zanjeer. He was not even the director's second choice: the role is said to have been offered to Dev Anand, who turned it down because of lack of songs for the main character (unheard of in those days). The film was a gritty cops-and-robbers drama which helped in the blossoming of Amitabh's personna as an "angry young man", cemented further by movies like Deewar, Muqaddar Ka Sikander and Shakti.
Zanjeer was a great success. After that, Bachchan's name on the marquee could be counted on to pull crowds into the theaters; he had at least one major hit every year for the next decade. THE REST IS HISTORY………
