Mr. Amitabh Bachchan is a movie scion and the definition of versatility, whereas Hrithik is India’s own Greek god manifestation. So, what’s the connection? If a fascinating (leaked) scene from the highly awaited film ‘Kaabil’ is to be believed, Hrithik would be imitating the great actor in his upcoming flick.

3. Raise a voice for the tigers of the country

No, we’re not talking about his renowned screen name ‘Tiger’ from the smash movie Hum. According to reports from the Maharashtra State Government, Mr. Bachchan would now use his iconic fame and broad appeal to conserve Maharashtra’s Tigers. This is Mr. Bachchan’s first time engaging with a wildlife cause, and it is a much-needed one at that.

4. Was he Mr. India’s first choice?

He may not have starred in this big Anil Kapoor success, but he has emerged as Bollywood’s actual Mr. India for much of his astounding acting talent. However, tradition has it that before Kapoor’s name was suggested for the iconic 1980s song, Mr. Bachchan was the original pick for Mr. India.

5. Problems with health

Health problems are prevalent among septuagenarians, and Mr. Bachchan, at the age of 74, is dealing with his own set of problems. Due to a long and tumultuous past with the Hepatitis B virus, he is claimed to be surviving on only 25% of his liver.

6. He is ambidextrous, which means he can use both hands.

Mr. Amitabh Bachchan, who is incredibly wonderful and awesome, can write with both hands equally well.

7. His most favored co-star

8. He may watch a south Indian film over and over again

Mr. Bachchan praised the critically acclaimed film ‘Baahubali’ and sent congratulatory wishes to Rana Duggubati. He is adamant that he will see the sequel to the mega-hit film next year.

9. His childhood sweetheart

For Mr. Bachchan’s grandfather, life has come full circle at this point. He adores his grandchild, ‘Aaradhya,’ and can spend hours playing with the adoring youngster. Loved ones are well aware of his proclivity for taking selfies with his grandson.

10. A series of failures

Mr. Bachchan is famed for his emotionally charged performances and timeless films that have become part of our everlasting Bollywood memories. However, a melancholy part of his path was dealing with 12 flops before Zenjeer became the box office king.

11. His cherished Hollywood legacy

Mr. Bachchan considers his time in South Africa playing golf with former Hollywood great Christopher Lee to be one of his most treasured Hollywood experiences.
