Amitabh Bachchan’s journey in cinema began in the early 1970s, with a significant breakthrough in 1973 when he starred in Zanjeer, portraying the iconic ‘angry young man’. This role made him a household name and redefined the image of Bollywood heroes, moving from traditional romantic leads to characters filled with grit and intensity. Following that, he delivered unforgettable performances in classics like Deewaar and Sholay (both 1975), Don (1978), and Agneepath (1990), solidifying his status as the "Shahenshah" of Bollywood.

In the 2000s, he showcased his versatility with roles ranging from the strict patriarch in Mohabbatein (2000) to the complex gangster in Sarkar (2005) and the witty grandfather in Piku (2015). His role in Pink (2016), where he advocated for women’s rights, demonstrated that he remains a powerful voice in cinema today.
