Big B started his journey in showbiz as one of the protagonists in KA Abbas' "Saat Hindustani" (1969), and then notably went on to feature in Hrishikesh Mukherjee's "Anand" (1971) starring Rajesh Khanna. His tryst with greatness started with Prakash Mehra's "Zanjeer" in 1973, the film that established his image as Hindi cinema's Angry Young Man.
Towering roles in "Deewar" (1975), "Sholay" (1975) and "Don" (1978) cemented his position in the industry. While his intense, larger-than-life image has made way to more realistic avatars in recent years ("Black", "Paa", "Piku", "Pink" and "Badla"), his ability to regale with characters of myriad shades continues.
Big B, who turned 78 in October, has a lot to look forward to. He will be seen in Nagraj Manjule's "Jhund", the Emraan Hashmi co-starrer "Chehre", and Ayan Mukerji's action fantasy drama "Brahmastra", co-starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Mouni Roy and Telugu superstar Nagarjuna. Big B will also star with Deepika Padukone and Telugu superstar Prabhas in a multilingual mega production for the big screen. The yet-untitled film is slated to release in 2022.
