Hindi cinema icon Amitabh Bachchan’s journey as host of ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ (Kbc) has been nothing short of historic. The megastar stepped into the shoes of the quizmaster for the Indian version of the reality knowledge show ‘Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?’ in 2000, and since then, he has become synonymous with Kbc becoming a blockbuster like the films that ensured his place in history.
Bachchan’s journey as host of ‘Kbc’ also marked a comeback for him when he was really down and out. At a time when his film career had groun to a halt and he was saddled with debts, the small screen provided a platform for Bachchan to reconnect with the audience that grew up adoring him.
The year 1989 was particularly bad for Bachchan. His star power has well and truly begun to wane with films such as ‘Jaadugar’, ‘Toofan’ and ‘Main Azaad Hoon’ (all...

EntertainmentThe makers of the project are yet to make any official announcement.Digital NativeDigital NativeIf the industry grapevine is anything to go by, a biopic on the late actor Soundarya is on the cards.

Amitabh Bachchan's journey of five decades to become the Bollywood "Shahenshah" was not always a smooth ride. Indeed, his life is nothing short of brilliant biopic material. Early rejections were followed by a phase when he made his mark as a promising actor, which was soon overshadowed by the kind of superstardom Bollywood never saw before or after. When the superstar tried his hand at film entrepreneurship, he went bankrupt, only to bounce back and claim supremacy as a super brand and respectability as an icon.
The first reaction of the industry all those years ago, however, was far from welcoming. His tall and lanky frame, and the baritone of his voice, were deemed unsuitable for Bollywood's image of a perfect hero back then. These factors were pointed out as flaws, and reasons why he wouldn't be able to make it big in the industry.

Amitabh Bachchan last played the 'hero' in the 1999 film Sooryavansham. In a double role, his younger self was paired opposite the late Soundarya almost 30 years his junior then! The huge age gap showed. The younger Amitabh was visibly uncomfortable in his scenes with Soundarya. His gait was almost apologetic. The film bombed and soon he took to playing roles of a father beginning with Mohabbatein, followed by Baghbhan. Amitabh was 57 years old then!
Sunny Deol today is 57 years old and he has been paired opposite a heroine almost 30 years his junior in Kangana Ranaut in I Love NY. Surprisingly, Sunny has done what Amitabh could not.he has pulled off a love story with charm and grace. As the man not wanting to get into a committed relationship and then falling head-on, 'love-at-first-sight', he is convincing, appealing and believable. He manages to hold his own against a resurgent Kangana and...
