Amitabh Bachchan (Hindi: अििताभ बचचन IPA: [əmitaːbʱ bətʃːən], born Amitabh

Harivansh Bachchan on October 11, 1942), is an Indian film actor. Also called Big B
and Shahenshah. He first gained popularity in the early 1970s as the "angry young man"
of Bollywood cinema, [1][2] and has since become one of the most prominent figures in the
history of Indian cinema.

Bachchan has won numerous major awards in his career, including three National Film
Awards and twelve Filmfare Awards. He holds the record for most number of Best Actor
nominations at the Filmfare Awards. In addition to acting, Bachchan has worked as a
playback singer, film producer and television presenter, and was an elected member of
the Indian Parliament from 1984 to 1987.

Bachchan is married to actress Jaya Bhaduri. They have two children, Shweta Nanda and
Abhishek Bachchan. Abhishek is also an actor and is married to actress Aishwarya Rai.

Early life
Born in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh, Amitabh Bachchan hails from a Hindu family. His
father, Dr. Harivansh Rai Bachchan was a well-known Hindi poet, while his mother, Teji
Bachchan was a Sikh from Faisalabad (now in Pakistan).[3] Bachchan was initially named
Inquilab, inspired from the phrase Inquilab Zindabad, during the Indian independence
struggle, but was re-christened Amitabh which means, "the light that would never go off."
Though his surname was Shrivastava, his father had adopted the pen-name Bachchan,
under which he published all his works. It is with this last name that Amitabh debuted in
films, and, for all public purposes, it has become the surname of all members of his
current family.

Amitabh is the elder of Harivansh Rai Bachchan's two sons, the second being Ajitabh.
His mother had a keen interest in theatre and had been offered a role in a film, but
preferred her domestic duties. She had some degree of influence in Bachchan's choice of
career because she always insisted that he should take the centre stage.[4] He attended
Allahabad's Jnana Prabodhini and Boys' High School (BHS), followed by Nainital's
Sherwood College, where he majored in the art stream. He later went on to study at
Kirori Mal College of the University of Delhi and completed a Bachelor of Science
degree. In his twenties, Bachchan gave up a job as freight broker for the shipping firm,
Bird and Co., based in Calcutta now known as Kolkata, to pursue a career in acting.

He married actress Jaya Bhaduri on June 3, 1973, according to Bengali rites. The couple
has two children: daughter Shweta and son Abhishek.

Bachchan made his film debut in 1969 as one of the seven protagonists in Saat
Hindustani, a film directed by Khwaja Ahmad Abbas and featuring Utpal Dutt, Madhu
and Jalal Agha. Though the film was not a financial success, Bachchan won his first
National Film Award for Best Newcomer.[5]

The critically acclaimed and commercially successful Anand (1971) followed, where he
starred alongside Rajesh Khanna. Bachchan's role as a doctor with a cynical view of life
garned him a Filmfare Best Supporting Actor Award. Amitabh then played the role of an
infatuated lover in Parwaana (1971) opposite Navin Nischol, Yogeeta Bali and Om
Prakash and was a rare instance of him portraying the villain. This was followed by
several films which were not particularly successful at the box office including Reshma
Aur Shera (1971). During this time, he made a guest appearance in the film Guddi which
starred his future wife Jaya Bhaduri opposite Dharmendra. Noted for his deep baritone
voice early on in his career, he narrated part of the film Bawarchi. In 1972, he made an
appearance in the road action comedy Bombay to Goa, directed by S. Ramanathan. He
starred alongside actors such as Aruna Irani, Mehmood, Anwar Ali and Nasir Hussain.

[edit] Rise to Stardom 1973-1983

1973 saw significant development in Bachchan's career when director Prakash Mehra
cast him in the leading role for the film Zanjeer (1973) as Inspector Vijay Khanna. The
film was a sharp contrast to the romantically themed films that had generally preceded it
and established Amitabh in a new persona — the "angry young man" of Bollywood
cinema,[2] a reputation he was to acquire in pictures that followed it. It was his first film
as the leading protagonist to achieve box office success and earned him a Filmfare
Nomination for Best Actor. 1973 was also the year he married Jaya and around this time
they appeared in several films together, not only in Zanjeer but in films such as
Abhimaan which followed and was released only a month after their marriage. Later,
Bachchan played the role of Vikram in the film Namak Haraam, a social drama directed
by Hrishikesh Mukherjee and scripted by Biresh Chatterjee addressing themes of
friendship. His supporting role opposite Rajesh Khanna and Rekha was praised and won
him the Filmfare Best Supporting Actor Award.
In 1974, Bachchan made several guest appearances in films such as Kunwara Baap and
Dost, before playing a supporting role in the highest grossing film of that year, Roti
Kapda Aur Makaan. The film, directed and written by Manoj Kumar, addressed themes
of honesty in the face of oppression and financial and emotional hardship was a critical
and commercial success, placing Amitabh opposite Kumar himself, Shashi Kapoor and
Zeenat Aman. Bachchan then played the leading role in film Majboor, released on
December 6, 1974, which was a remake of the Hollywood film Zigzag starring George
Kennedy. The film was only a moderate success at the box office[6] In 1975, he starred in
a variety of film genres from the comedy Chupke Chupke, the crime drama Faraar to the
romantic drama Mili. However 1975 was the year when he appeared in two films which
are regarded as important in Hindi cinematic history. He starred in the Yash Chopra
directed film Deewar, opposite Shashi Kapoor, Nirupa Roy, and Neetu Singh, which
earned him a Filmfare Nomination for Best Actor. The film became a major hit at the box
office in 1975, ranking in at number 4.[7] Indiatimes Movies ranks Deewaar amongst the
Top 25 Must See Bollywood Films.[8] Released on August 15, 1975 was Sholay (meaning
flames), which became the highest grossing film of all time in India, earning Rs.
2,36,45,00,000 equivalent to US$ 60 million, after adjusting for inflation.[9] Bachchan
played the role of Jaidev opposite a cast which included some of the top names in the
industry including Dharmendra, Hema Malini, Sanjeev Kumar, Jaya Bhaduri and Amjad
Khan. In 1999, BBC India declared it the "Film of the Millennium" and like Deewar, has
been cited by Indiatimes movies as amongst the Top 25 Must See Bollywood Films.[8] In
that same year, the judges of the 50th annual Filmfare awards awarded it with the special
distinction award called Filmfare Best Film of 50 Years. After the success of films such
as Sholay at the box office, Bachchan had now consolidated his position in the industry
and from 1976 through to 1984 would receive an unprecedented number of Filmfare Best
Actor Award Awards and nominations. Although films such as Sholay cemented his status
as Bollywood's pre-eminent action hero, Bachchan illustrated that he was flexible in other
roles, successfully playing the romantic lead, in films such as Kabhie Kabhie (1976) and
comic timing in comedies such as Amar Akbar Anthony (1977) and earlier, in Chupke
Chupke (1975). In 1976, he was once again cast by director Yash Chopra in his second
film, Kabhi Kabhie, a romantic tale in which Bachchan starred as a young poet named
Amit Malhotra who falls deeply in love with a beautiful young girl named Pooja played
by actress Rakhee Gulzar. The emotional eclectic of the dialogue and softness of the
subject matter proved a direct contrast to some of Amitabh's earlier grittier action pictures
and those he would later go on to play. The film saw him again nominated for the
Filmfare Best Actor Award and was a box office success. In 1977, he won the Filmfare
Best Actor Award for his performance in Amar Akbar Anthony where he played the third
lead opposite Vinod Khanna and Rishi Kapoor as Anthony Gonsalves. 1978 was possibly
the most accoladed year of his career and he starred in all four of the highest grossing
films of India in that year.[10] He once again resumed double roles in films such as Kasme
Vaade as Amit and Shankar and Don playing the characters of Don, a leader of an
underworld gang and his look alike Vijay. His performance won him the Filmfare Best
Actor Award and considerable critical acclaim as with his performances in Trishul and
Muqaddar Ka Sikander which both earned him further Filmfare Best Actor nominations.
On account of this unprecedented run and success he encountered at this stage in his
career, he was billed a "one-man industry" by the French director François Truffaut.[11]
In 1979, for the first time, Amitabh was required to use his singing voice for the film Mr.
Natwarlal in which he starred alongside Rekha. His performance in the film saw him
nominated for both the Filmfare Best Actor Award and the Filmfare Best Male Playback
Awards. In 1979, he also received Best Actor nomination for Kaala Patthar (1979) and
then went on to be nominated again in 1980 for the Raj Khosla directed film Dostana, in
which he starred opposite Shatrughan Sinha and Zeenat Aman. Dostana proved to be the
top grossing film of 1980.[12] In 1981, he starred in Yash Chopra's melodrama film Silsila,
where he starred alongside his wife Jaya and rumoured lover Rekha. Other films of this
period include Ram Balram (1980), Shaan (1980), Lawaaris (1981), and Shakti (1982)
which pitted him against legendary actor Dilip Kumar.[13]

[edit] 1982 injury during filming Coolie

While filming Coolie in 1982, Bachchan suffered a near fatal intestinal injury during the
filming of a fight scene with co-actor Puneet Issar.[14] Bachchan was performing his own
stunts in the film and one scene required him to fall onto a table and then on the ground.
However as he jumped towards the table, the corner of the table struck his abdomen,
resulting in a splenic rupture from which he lost a significant amount of blood. He
required an emergency splenectomy and remained critically ill in hospital for many
months, at times close to death. The public response included prayers in temples and
offers to sacrifice limbs to save him, while later, there were long queues of well-wishing
fans outside the hospital where he was recuperating.[15] Nevertheless, he spent many
months recovering and resumed filming later that year after a long period of recuperation.
The film was released in 1983, and partly due to the huge publicity of Bachchan's
accident, the film was a box office success.[16]

The director, Manmohan Desai, altered the ending of Coolie after Bachchan's accident.
Bachchan's character was originally intended to have been killed off but after the change
of script, the character lived in the end. It would have been inappropriate, said Desai, for
the man who had just fended off death in real life to be killed on screen. Also, in the
released film the footage of the fight scene is frozen at the critical moment, and a caption
appears onscreen marking this as the instant of the actor's injury and the ensuing publicity
of the accident.[15]
Later, he was diagnosed with Myasthenia gravis. His illness made him feel weak both
mentally and physically and he decided to quit films and venture into politics. At this
time he became pessimistic, expressing concern with how a new film would be received.
Before every release he would negatively state, "Yeh film to flop hogi!" ("This film will
flop").[17]

[edit] Politics: 1984-1987

In 1984, Amitabh took a break from acting and briefly entered politics in support of long-
time family friend, Rajiv Gandhi. He contested Allahabad's Lok Sabha seat against H. N.
Bahuguna, former Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh and won by the highest victory margin
in general election history (68.2% of the vote).[18] His political career, however, was
short-lived: He resigned after three years and said it is a cesspool. The resignation
followed the implication of Bachchan and his brother in the "Bofors scandal" by a
newspaper, which he vowed to take to court.[19] Bachchan was eventually found not guilty
of involvement in the ordeal.

His old friend, Amar Singh, helped him during a financial crisis due to the failure of his
company ABCL. Therefore Bachchan started to support Amar Singh's political party, the
Samajwadi party. Jaya Bachchan joined the Samajwadi Party and became a Rajya Sabha
member.[20] Bachchan has continued to do favors for the Samajwadi party, including
advertisements and political campaigns. These activities have recently gotten him into
trouble again in the Indian courts for false claims after a previous incident of submission
of legal papers by him, stating that he is a farmer.[21]

A 15 year press ban against Bachchan was imposed during his peak acting years by
Stardust and some of the other film magazines. In his own defense, Bachchan claimed to
have banned the press from entering his sets almost till the end of 1989.[22]

[edit] Slump and retirement: 1988-1992

In 1988, Bachchan returned to films, playing the title role in Shahenshah, which was a
box office success due to the hype of Bachchan's comeback.[23] After the success of his
comeback film however, his star power began to wane as all of his subsequent films
failed at the box office. The 1991 hit film, Hum, looked like it might reverse this trend,
but the momentum was short-lived as his string of box office failures continued. Notably,
despite the lack of hits, it was during this period that Bachchan won his second National
Film Award, for his performance as a Mafia don in the 1990 film Agneepath. These years
would be the last he would be seen on screen for some time. After the release of Khuda
Gawah in 1992, Bachchan went into semi-retirement for five years. In 1994, one of his
delayed films Insaniyat was released but was also a box office failure.[24]

[edit] Producer and acting comeback 1996-1999

Bachchan turned producer during his temporary retirement period, setting up Amitabh
Bachchan Corporation, Ltd. (A.B.C.L.) in 1996, with the vision of becoming a 10 billion
rupees (approx 250 million $US) premier entertainment company by the year 2000.
ABCL's strategy was to introduce products and services covering the entire section of the
India's entertainment industry. Its operations were mainstream commercial film
production and distribution, audio cassettes and video discs, production and marketing of
television software, celebrity and event management. Soon after the company was
launched in 1996, the first film was produced by the company. Tere Mere Sapne failed to
do well at the box office but launched the careers of actors such as Arshad Warsi and
South films star Simran. ABCL produced a few other films, none of which did well.

In 1997, Bachchan attempted to make his acting comeback with the film Mrityudaata,
produced by ABCL. Though Mrityudaata attempted to reprise Bachchan's earlier success
as an action hero, the film was a failure both financially and critically. ABCL was the
main sponsor of the The 1996 Miss World beauty pageant, Bangalore but lost millions.
The fiasco and the consequent legal battles surrounding ABCL and various entities after
the event, coupled with the fact that ABCL was reported to have overpaid most of its top
level managers, eventually led to its financial and operational collapse in 1997. The
company went into administration and was later declared a failed company by Indian
Industries board. The Bombay high court, in April 1999, restrained Bachchan from
selling off his Bombay bungalow 'Prateeksha' and two flats till the pending loan recovery
cases of Canara Bank were disposed of. Bachchan had, however, pleaded that he had
mortgaged his bungalow to Sahara India Finance for raising funds for his company.[25]

Bachchan attempted to revive his acting career and had average success with Bade Miyan
Chote Miyan (1998),[24] and received positive reviews for Sooryavansham (1999)[26] but
other films such as Lal Baadshah (1999) and Hindustan Ki Kasam (1999) were box
office failures.

[edit] Television career

In the year 2000, Bachchan stepped up to host India's adaptation of the British television
game show, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? entitled, Kaun Banega Crorepati. As it did
in most other countries where it was adopted, the program found immediate success. The
Canara Bank withdrew its law suit against Bachchan in November 2000. Bachchan
hosted KBC till November 2005, and its success set the stage for his return to film
popularity. In 2009 Oscar winning movie Slumdog Millionaire in the first question of
Who Wants to be a Millionaire? contest Amitabh Bachchan was the correct answer to the
question "Who was the star of Zanjeer?[1]. Feroz Abbas Khan [2] performed as Amitabh
Bachchan in a scene in the movie while Anil Kapoor performed as the host of the
contest.[3]

[edit] Return to prominence: 2000-present

In 2000, Amitabh Bachchan appeared in Yash Chopra's box-office hit, Mohabbatein,

directed by Aditya Chopra. He played a stern, older figure that rivalled the character of
Shahrukh Khan. Other hits followed, with Bachchan appearing as an older family
patriarch in Ek Rishtaa: The Bond of Love (2001), Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001)
and Baghban (2003). As an actor, he continued to perform in a range of characters,
receiving critical praise for his performances in Aks (2001), Aankhen (2002), Khakee
(2004), Dev (2004) and Black (2005). Taking advantage of this resurgence, Amitabh
began endorsing a variety of products and services, appearing in many television and
billboard advertisements. In 2005 and 2006, he starred with his son Abhishek in the hit
films Bunty Aur Babli (2005), the Godfather tribute Sarkar (2005), and Kabhi Alvida Na
Kehna (2006). All of them were successful at the box office.[27][28] His later releases in
2006 and early 2007 were Baabul (2006),[29] Eklavya and Nishabd (2007), which failed to
do well at the box office but his performances in each of them were praised by critics.[30]
He also made a guest-appearance as himself in the Kannada movie Amruthadaare,
directed by Nagathihalli Chandrashekhar.

Amitabh Bachchan for his role in the Hindi film Black.

In May 2007, two of his films Cheeni Kum and the multi-starrer Shootout at
Lokhandwala were released. Shootout at Lokhandwala did very well at the box office and
was declared a hit in India, while Cheeni Kum picked up after a slow start and was
declared an overall average hit.[31]

In August 2007, a remake of his biggest hit, Sholay (1975), entitled Ram Gopal Varma Ki
Aag, proved to be a disaster at the box office[31] and was also poorly received by critics.

His first English language film, Rituparno Ghosh's The Last Lear, premiered at the 2007
Toronto International Film Festival on September 9, 2007. He received positive reviews
from critics who hailed his performance as his best ever since Black.[32] Bachchan is
slated to play a supporting role in his first international film, Shantaram, directed by Mira
Nair and starring Hollywood actor Johnny Depp in the lead. The film was due to begin
filming in February 2008 but due to the writer's strike, was pushed to September 2008[33]

Bhoothnath, in which he plays the title role as a ghost, was released on May 9, 2008.
Sarkar Raj, released in June 2008, was a sequel to his 2005 film Sarkar. Sarkar Raj
received a positive response at the box-office.

Bachchan was scheduled to co-host the second Live Earth event, Live Earth India 2008,
with Jon Bon Jovi, in Mumbai India on December 8, 2008.

On January 26th 2009, Amitabh was the chief guest for the opening of Kokilaben
Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital in Andheri, Mumbai.[34]

[edit] Health
[edit] 2005 Hospitalisation

In November 2005, Amitabh Bachchan was admitted to Lilavati Hospital's ICU once
more, to undergo surgery for diverticulitis of the small intestine.[35] This occurred after
Bachchan complained of pains in his abdomen some days prior. During the period and
that following his recovery, most of his projects were put on hold, including the television
show he was in the process of hosting, Kaun Banega Crorepati. Amitabh returned to
work in March 2006.[36]

[edit] Voice
Bachchan is known for his deep, baritone voice. He has been a narrator, a playback singer
and presenter for numerous programmes. Renowned film director Satyajit Ray was so
impressed with Bachchan's voice, that he decided to use his voice as commentary in
Shatranj Ke Khiladi since he could not find a suitable role for him.[37] Before entering the
film industry, Bachchan applied for an announcer's job with All India Radio, although he
was rejected.

[edit] Controversies and criticism

[edit] Barabanki land case

In the runup to the Uttar Pradesh state assembly elections, 2007, Bachchan made a film
extolling the virtues of the Mulayam Singh government. His Samajwadi Party was
routed, and Mayawati came to power.

On June 2, 2007 a Faizabad court ruled that he had illegally acquired agricultural land
designated specifically for landless Dalit farmers.[38] It was speculated that he might be
investigated on related charges of forgery, as he has allegedly claimed he was a farmer.[39]
On July 19, 2007, after the scandal broke out, Bachchan surrendered the land acquired in
Barabanki in Uttar Pradesh and Pune. He wrote to the chief minister of Maharashtra,
Vilasrao Deshmukh, to donate the lands that were allegedly acquired illegally in Pune.[40]
However, the Lucknow Court has put a stay on the land donation and said that the status
quo on the land be maintained.

On October 12, 2007, Bachchan abandoned his claim in respect of the land at Daulatpur
village in Barabanki district.[41] On December 11, 2007, the Lucknow bench of the
Allahabad High Court gave a clean chit to Bachchan in a case pertaining to alleged
fraudulent allotment of government land to him in Barabanki district. A single Lucknow
bench of Justice said there was no finding that the actor "himself committed any fraud or
manipulated any surreptitious entry in the revenue records".[42][43]

After receiving a positive verdict in Barabanki case, Amitabh Bachchan intimated to

Maharashtra government that he did not wish to surrender his land in Maval tehsil of
Pune district.[44]
[edit] Raj Thackeray's criticism

Main article: 2008 attacks on North Indians in Maharashtra

Bachchan featured on an advert in shopping mall in India

In January 2008 at political rallies, Raj Thackeray, the chief of Maharashtra Navnirman
Sena, targeted Amitabh Bachchan, asserting that the actor was "more inclined" towards
his native state than Maharashtra. He expressed his disapproval of Amitabh's
inaugurating a girls' school named after his daughter-in-law, actor Aishwarya Rai
Bachchan, at Barabanki in Uttar Pradesh, rather than in Maharashtra.[45] According to
media reports, Raj's censure of Amitabh, whom he admires, stemmed out of his
disappointment of not being invited to Amitabh's son Abhishek's marriage to Aishwarya,
despite invitations to his estranged uncle Bal and cousin Uddhav.[46][47]

Responding to Raj's accusations, the actor's wife, SP MP Jaya Bachchan, said that the
Bachchans were willing to start a school in Mumbai, provided the MNS leader donated
the land to build it. She told the media, "I heard that Raj Thackeray owns huge properties
in Maharashtra, in Mumbai—Kohinoor Mills. If he is willing to donate land, we can start
a school in the name of Aishwarya here."[48] However, Amitabh abstained from
commenting on the issue.
Bal Thackeray refuted the allegations, stating, "Amitabh Bachchan is an open-minded
person, he has great love for Maharashtra, and this is evident on many occasions. The
actor has often said that Maharashtra and specially Mumbai has given him great fame and
affection. He has also said that what he is today is because of the love people have given
him. The people of Mumbai have always acknowledged him as an artiste. It was utter
foolishness to make these parochial allegations against him. Amitabh is a global
superstar. People all over the world respect him. This cannot be forgotten by anyone.
Amitabh should ignore these silly accusations and concentrate on his acting."[49]

On March 23, 2008, more than a month and half after Raj's remarks, Amitabh finally
spoke out in an interview to a local tabloid saying, "Random charges are random; they do
not deserve the kind of attention you wish me to give."[50] Later, on March 28, at a press
conference for the International Indian Film Academy, when asked what his take was on
the anti-migrant issue, Amitabh said that it is one's fundamental right to live anywhere in
the country and the constitution entitles so.[51] He also stated that he was not affected by
Raj's comments.[52]
