AMITHABATCHAN - DON OF BOLLYWOOD

Amitabh Bachhan is, in popular parlance, the king of Indian cinema was born on October 11, 1942 in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh, India . The older of the two sons of Harivansh Rai, an acclaimed Hindi poet, and the socialite Teji Bachhan, Amitabh went to Sherwood College, a boarding school in the hill-station town of Nainital, and from there to Delhi University where he earned an arts degree. This six feet tall man started the trend of the angry young man in the film industry. Director K. A. Abbas launched him in the film Saat Hindustani which went unnoticed. This versatile actor even did the playback in most of his films. Altogether, Amitabh Bachhan has appeared in over 100 films, an astounding number most of which,were box office blockbusters.

QUITE simply, the answer is Bachchan's string of box office hits. One after the other, the actor's films hit the jackpot with such sustained regularity that in the seventies and eighties, Amitabh Bachchan became the safest bet for producers, distributors and exhibitors alike. Amitabh met with a serious accident on the sets of Coolie, the entire nation united in prayers for his speedy recovery. The prayers turned into a blessing for the superhero, as he returned to the scene with double the impact.

It was love at first sight for Amitabh as Jaya became his spouse and the famous Guddi girl Jaya Bhaduri transformed into Mrs. Bachchan.About ten years later, Amitabh retired from the film world. He then tried his hand at politics.Due to his enormous popularity, not to mention the close association with Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi, he was elected to parliament with a huge majority from his home city of Allahabad. He resigned his seat in parliament and returned to cinema.

He launched his company ABCL which is known as Amitabh Bachchan Corporation Limited which realesed many controversial films like Mani Ratnam's Bombay and Shekhar Kapoor's Bandit Queen and commercial film's like Joy Augustine's Tere Mere Sapne and Sachin's Naam Kya Hai which was produced under the same banner.His company was the principal sponsor of the 1996 Miss World Contest, held in Bangalore.

The Big B was back! As the year 2000 ended, at the age of 58, Amitabh Bachchan was once again the Superstar of India. His latest album release was Eer Bhir Phatte and Kabhi Kabhi.

An actor who pays 18 crores of tax!! January 06, 2006

The Big B of Bollywood, Amitabh Bachaan is still keeping himself extremely busy in the industry even after crossing 60 years of age. Last year, most of the movies in which he acted were acknowledged as hits, with Black, Bunty Aur Babli, Sarkar and Waqt to name a few.

In a memorable year, Amitabh landed paying an income tax of 18 crores which means he must have earned at least 54 crores. The same actor, who was once left bankrupt, has now become the richest Indian actor. His earnings also include the pay packets from his endorsements and KBC II.
