Amitabh Bachchan: A legend twice over

Share

A decade ago, one might have thought it impossible to list Amitabh Bachchan’s notable performances without including the golden old hits. But we have done exactly that. Post Kaante in 2002, Bachchan became the ‘dude’ of the industry, the only one above the age of 60!

By that yardstick, Bachchan is a legend twice over—for he’s managed to win over an entirely new generation of audience. Most actors are presented the opportunity to go full-blooded on varied roles in their prime, and are cautiously typecast into stereotypical ageing roles over time. In the case of Bachchan, his most creative, experimental work has come in the last few years. Here’s a tribute to his ‘re-earned’ superstardom.
