There is a reason everyone calls Amitabh Bachchan a legend. With 216 acting credits under his belt (as per his IMDB page), plus those films where he lent his deep baritone, three national awards for Best Actor and countless other awards, he is surely one of the best actors we have in our country – an actor generations ahead will also remember.
And he could be one of the those rare actors who has a magnificent career as a hero even when his age now in the ’70s bracket. That’s AMitabh Bachchan for you – he is more active of social networking sites than even the younger stars, something we are still trying to decode how he can manage despite his busy schedule. He is a prime example of the fact that age is just a mere number, if you have the will to learn new things and be young at heart.
However, this is no open letter to Mr Bachchan Sr where I am going to praise him a lot; many have done that job better than me before, and will do so ahead. Here, I will be talking about how the current phase of Amitabh Bachchan’s acting career, his second innings, is actually his best and perhaps his golden age as well.
Before I get to my views as to why I feel Amitabh Bachchan‘s current career status is his most fulfilling phase as an actor, let’s talk about his career as a whole.
When we talk about Amitabh Bachchan’s career, we have to talk about it in two phases, or rather in a sporting terms, let’s say two innings. The first innings was the era whereAmitabh Bachchan entered the success-hungry industry with Saat Hindustani, move to playing main lead from supporting roles and gave India its most famous Angry Young Man.
First Innings – The Angry Young Man phase
As everyone knows by now if your are a true ardent fan of Amitabh Bachchan fan, that the man was an All India Radio reject because they found his voice ‘too deep’. The eldest son of poet late Harivansh Rai Bachchan, Amitabh Bachchan made his debut as one of the leads in the forgotten, Saat Hindustani, which co-starred Utpal Dutt and Malayalam actor Madhu. The film was based on the Goa liberation movement.
