Son of the great poet Harivanshrai Bachchan, this six feet tall man from Allahabad started the trend of angry young man in the film industry. Director K. A. Abbas launched him in the film Saath Hindustani   which went unnoticed. But luckily for him Prakash Mehra signed him for Zanjeer from which his stars started shining and he never looked back. This versatile actor even did his own playback in some of his films and blah, blah, blah, blah...

Now meet the man behind the hype. The warm, intelligent, reserved, fun, humble, hard-working actor Amitabh - with many self-proclaimed idiosyncrasies who is grateful to his fans and pretty sick of critical press.
