Career

Early work: 1969–1972Bachchan made his film debut in 1969 as one of the seven protagonists in Saat Hindustani, a film directed byKhwaja 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 RajeshKhanna. 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 andOm Prakash and was a rare instance of him portraying the villain. This was followed by several films which were notparticularly successful at the box office including Reshma Aur Shera (1971). During this time, he made a guestappearance in the film Guddi which starred his future wife Jaya Bhaduri opposite Dharmendra. Noted for his deepbaritone voice early on in his career, he narrated part of the film Bawarchi. In 1972, he made an appearance in theroad action comedy Bombay to Goa, directed by S. Ramanathan. He starred alongside actors such as Aruna Irani,Mehmood, Anwar Ali and Nasir Hussain.

Rise to stardom: 1973–19831973 saw significant development in Bachchan's career when director Prakash Mehra cast him in the leading role forthe film Zanjeer (1973) as Inspector Vijay Khanna. The film was a sharp contrast to the romantically themed filmsthat had generally preceded it and established Amitabh in a new persona—the "angry young man" of Bollywoodcinema,[2] a reputation he was to acquire in pictures that followed it. It was his first film as the leading protagonist toachieve box office success and earned him a Filmfare Nomination for Best Actor. 1973 was also the year he marriedJaya and around this time they appeared in several films together, not only in Zanjeer but in films such as Abhimaanwhich followed and was released only a month after their marriage. Later, Bachchan played the role of Vikram in thefilm Namak Haraam, a social drama directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee and scripted by Biresh Chatterjee addressingthemes of friendship. His supporting role opposite Rajesh Khanna and Rekha was praised and won him the FilmfareBest 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 6 December 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 officein 1975, ranking in at number 4.[7] Indiatimes Movies ranks Deewaar amongst the Top 25 Must See BollywoodFilms.[8] Released on 15 August 1975 was Sholay (meaning flames), which became the highest grossing film of alltime in India, earning INR 2,36,45,00,000 equivalent to US$ 60 million, after adjusting for inflation.[9] Bachchanplayed the role of Jaidev opposite a cast which included some of the top names in the industry includingDharmendra, 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 SeeBollywood Films.[8] In that same year, the judges of the 50th annual Filmfare awards awarded it with the specialdistinction 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 theindustry and from 1976 through to 1984 would receive an unprecedented number of Filmfare Best Actor AwardAwards and nominations. Although films such as Sholay cemented his status as Bollywood's pre-eminent actionhero, Bachchan illustrated that he was flexible in other roles, successfully playing comic timing in comedies such asChupke Chupke (1975) and Amar Akbar Anthony (1977) and romantic lead in films such as Kabhie Kabhie (1976).In 1976, he was once again cast by director Yash Chopra in his second film, Kabhi Kabhie, a romantic tale in whichBachchan starred as a young poet named Amit Malhotra who falls deeply in love with a beautiful young girl namedPooja played by actress Rakhee Gulzar. The emotional eclectic of the dialogue and softness of the subject matterproved 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 wonthe Filmfare Best Actor Award for his performance in Amar Akbar Anthony where he played the third lead oppositeVinod Khanna and Rishi Kapoor as Anthony Gonsalves. 1978 was possibly the most accoladed year of his careerand he starred in all four of the highest grossing films of India in that year.[10] He once again resumed double roles infilms such as Kasme Vaade as Amit and Shankar and Don playing the characters of Don, a leader of an underworldgang and his look alike Vijay. His performance won him the Filmfare Best Actor Award and considerable criticalacclaim as with his performances in Trishul and Muqaddar Ka Sikander which both earned him further FilmfareBest 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 hestarred alongside Rekha. His performance in the film saw him nominated for both the Filmfare Best Actor Awardand 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 starredopposite Shatrughan Sinha and Zeenat Aman. Dostana proved to be the top grossing film of 1980.[12] In 1981, hestarred in Yash Chopra's melodrama film Silsila, where he starred alongside his wife Jaya and rumoured loverRekha. 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]

1982 injury while filming Coolie

On 26 July 1982, while filming Coolie in the University Campus in Bangalore, Bachchan suffered a near fatalintestinal injury during the filming of a fight scene with co-actor Puneet Issar.[14] Bachchan was performing his ownstunts in the film and one scene required him to fall onto a table and then on the ground. However as he jumpedtowards the table, the corner of the table struck his abdomen, resulting in a splenic rupture from which he lost asignificant amount of blood. He required an emergency splenectomy and remained critically ill in hospital for manymonths, at times close to death. The public response included prayers in temples and offers to sacrifice limbs to savehim, 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 ofrecuperation. The film was released in 1983, and partly due to the huge publicity of Bachchan's accident, the filmwas a box office success.[16]

The director, Manmohan Desai, altered the ending of Coolie after Bachchan's accident. Bachchan's character wasoriginally intended to have been killed off but after the change of script, the character lived in the end. It would havebeen inappropriate, said Desai, for the man who had just fended off death in real life to be killed on screen. Also, inthe released film the footage of the fight scene is frozen at the critical moment, and a caption appears onscreenmarking 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 andhe decided to quit films and venture into politics. At this time he became pessimistic, expressing concern with how anew film would be received. Before every release he would negatively state, "Yeh film to flop hogi!" ("This film willflop").[17]

Politics: 1984–1987In 1984, Bachchan took a break from acting and briefly entered politics in support of long-time family friend, RajivGandhi. He contested Allahabad's seat of 8th Lok Sabha against H. N. Bahuguna, former Chief Minister of UttarPradesh and won by the one of the highest victory margins in general election history (68.2% of the vote).[18] Hispolitical career, however, was short-lived: he resigned after three years, calling politics a cesspool. The resignationfollowed the implication of Bachchan and his brother in the "Bofors scandal" by a newspaper, which he vowed totake to court. Bachchan was eventually found not guilty of involvement in the ordeal.[19]

His old friend, Amar Singh, helped him during a financial crisis due to the failure of his company ABCL. ThereforeBachchan started to support Amar Singh's political party, the Samajwadi party. Jaya Bachchan joined the SamajwadiParty 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 theIndian courts for false claims after a previous incident of submission of legal papers by him, stating that he is afarmer.[21]

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

Slump and retirement: 1988–1992In 1988, Bachchan returned to films, playing the title role in Shahenshah, which was a box office success due to thehype of Bachchan's comeback.[23] After the success of his comeback film however, his star power began to wane asall 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, itwas during this period that Bachchan won his second National Film Award, for his performance as a Mafia don inthe 1990 film Agneepath. These years would be the last he would be seen on screen for some time. After the releaseof Khuda Gawah in 1992, Bachchan went into semi-retirement for five years. In 1994, one of his delayed filmsInsaniyat was released but was also a box office failure.[24]

Producer and acting comeback 1996–1999Bachchan 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 entertainmentcompany by the year 2000. ABCL's strategy was to introduce products and services covering the entire section of theIndia's entertainment industry. Its operations were mainstream commercial film production and distribution, audiocassettes and video discs, production and marketing of television software, celebrity and event management. Soonafter the company was launched in 1996, the first film was produced by the company. Tere Mere Sapne failed to dowell at the box office but launched the careers of actors such as Arshad Warsi and South films star Simran. ABCLproduced 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. ThoughMrityudaata attempted to reprise Bachchan's earlier success as an action hero, the film was a failure both financiallyand 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 thefact that ABCL was reported to have overpaid most of its top level managers, eventually led to its financial andoperational collapse in 1997. The company went into administration and was later declared a failed company byIndian Industries board. The Bombay high court, in April 1999, restrained Bachchan from selling off his Bombaybungalow 'Prateeksha' and two flats till the pending loan recovery cases of Canara Bank were disposed of. Bachchanhad, however, pleaded that he had mortgaged his bungalow to Sahara India Finance for raising funds for hiscompany.[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) andHindustan Ki Kasam (1999) were box office failures.

Television careerIn the year 2000, Bachchan stepped up to host India's adaptation of the British television game show, Who Wants toBe a Millionaire? entitled, Kaun Banega Crorepati. As it did in most other countries where it was adopted, theprogram found immediate success. 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 2009Oscar winning movie Slumdog Millionaire in the first question of Who Wants to be a Millionaire? contest "AmitabhBachchan" was the correct answer to the question "Who was the star of Zanjeer? Feroz Abbas Khan performed asAmitabh Bachchan in a scene in the movie while Anil Kapoor performed as the host of the contest. AmitabhBachchan is hosting Bigg Boss 3.[27]

Return to prominence: 2000–presentIn 2000, Amitabh Bachchan appeared in Yash Chopra's box-office hit, Mohabbatein, directed by Aditya Chopra. Heplayed a stern, older figure that rivalled the character of Shahrukh Khan. Other hits followed, with Bachchanappearing 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 hisperformances in Aks (2001), Aankhen (2002), Khakee (2004) and Dev (2004). One project that did particularly wellfor Bachchan was Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Black (2005). The film starred Bachchan as an aging teacher of adeaf-blind girl and followed their relationship. His performance was unanimously praised by critics and audiencesand won him his fourth Filmfare Best Actor Award and second National Film Award for Best Actor. Takingadvantage of this resurgence, Amitabh began endorsing a variety of products and services, appearing in manytelevision and billboard advertisements. In 2005 and 2006, he starred with his son Abhishek in the hit films BuntyAur Babli (2005), the Godfather tribute Sarkar (2005), and Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna (2006). All of them weresuccessful at the box office.[28] [29] His later releases in 2006 and early 2007 were Baabul (2006),[30] Eklavya andNishabd (2007), which failed to do well at the box office but his performances in each of them were praised bycritics.[31]

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.[32] A remake of his biggest hit, Sholay (1975), entitled Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag, released in August of that same year and proved to be a major commercial failure in addition to its poor critical reception.[32] The year also marked Bachchan's first appearance in an English-language film, Rituparno Ghosh's The Last Lear. The film premiered at the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival on 9 September 2007. He received positive reviews from critics who hailed his performance as his best ever since

It won him his fifth Filmfare Best Actor Award and third National Film Award for Best Actor.

Health

2005 hospitalisationIn November 2005, Amitabh Bachchan was admitted to Lilavati Hospital's ICU once more, to undergo surgery fordiverticulitis of the small intestine.[36] This occurred after Bachchan complained of pains in his abdomen some daysprior. During the period and that following his recovery, most of his projects were put on hold, including thetelevision show he was in the process of hosting, Kaun Banega Crorepati. Amitabh returned to work in March2006.[37]

VoiceBachchan is known for his deep, baritone voice. He has been a narrator, a playback singer and presenter fornumerous programmes. Renowned film director Satyajit Ray was so impressed with Bachchan's voice, that hedecided to use his voice as commentary in Shatranj Ke Khiladi since he could not find a suitable role for him.[38]

Before entering the film industry, Bachchan applied for an announcer's job with All India Radio, although he wasrejected.

Controversies and criticism

Barabanki land caseIn the runup to the Uttar Pradesh state assembly elections, 2007, Bachchan made a film extolling the virtues of theMulayam Singh government. His Samajwadi Party was routed, and Mayawati came to power.On 2 June 2007 a Faizabad court ruled that he had legally acquired agricultural land designated specifically forlandless Dalit farmers.[39] It was speculated that he might be investigated on related charges of forgery, as he hasallegedly claimed he was a farmer.[40] On 19 July 2007, after the scandal broke out, Bachchan surrendered the landacquired in Barabanki in Uttar Pradesh and Pune. He wrote to the chief minister of Maharashtra, VilasraoDeshmukh, to donate the lands that were allegedly acquired illegally in Pune.[41] However, the Lucknow Court hasput a stay on the land donation and said that the status quo on the land be maintained.On 12 October 2007, Bachchan abandoned his claim in respect of the land at Daulatpur village in Barabankidistrict.[42] On 11 December 2007, the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court gave a clean chit to Bachchan ina case pertaining to alleged fraudulent allotment of government land to him in Barabanki district. A single Lucknowbench of Justice said there was no finding that the actor "himself committed any fraud or manipulated anysurreptitious entry in the revenue records".[43] [44]

After receiving a positive verdict in Barabanki case, Amitabh Bachchan intimated to Maharashtra government thathe did not wish to surrender his land in Maval tehsil of Pune district.[45]

Raj Thackeray's criticism

Bachchan featured on an advert in shopping mallin India

In January 2008 at political rallies, Raj Thackeray, the chief ofMaharashtra Navnirman Sena, targeted Amitabh Bachchan, assertingthat the actor was "more inclined" towards his native state thanMaharashtra. He expressed his disapproval of Amitabh's inaugurating agirls' school named after his daughter-in-law, actress Aishwarya RaiBachchan, at Barabanki in Uttar Pradesh, rather than inMaharashtra.[46] According to media reports, Raj's censure of Amitabh,whom he admires, stemmed out of his disappointment of not beinginvited to Amitabh's son Abhishek's marriage to Aishwarya, despiteinvitations to his estranged uncle Bal and cousin Uddhav.[47] [48]

Responding to Raj's accusations, the actor's wife, SP MP JayaBachchan, said that the Bachchans were willing to start a school inMumbai, provided the MNS leader donated the land to build it. Shetold the media, "I heard that Raj Thackeray owns huge properties inMaharashtra, in Mumbai—Kohinoor Mills. If he is willing to donateland, we can start a school in the name of Aishwarya here."[49]

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 forMaharashtra, and this is evident on many occasions. The actor has often said that Maharashtra and specially Mumbaihas given him great fame and affection. He has also said that what he is today is because of the love people havegiven him. The people of Mumbai have always acknowledged him as an artiste. It was utter foolishness to makethese parochial allegations against him. Amitabh is a global superstar. People all over the world respect him. Thiscannot be forgotten by anyone. Amitabh should ignore these silly accusations and concentrate on his acting."[50]

On 23 March 2008, more than a month and half after Raj's remarks, Amitabh finally spoke out in an interview to alocal tabloid saying, "Random charges are random; they do not deserve the kind of attention you wish me togive."[51] Later, on 28 March at a press conference for the International Indian Film Academy, when asked what histake was on the anti-migrant issue, Amitabh said that it is one's fundamental right to live anywhere in the countryand the constitution entitles so.[52] He also stated that he was not affected by Raj's comments.[53]
