Numerous Bollywood celebrities also took the opportunity to extend their best wishes to Bachchan on his special day. Producer Anand Pandit reminisced about how the megastar’s iconic film “Trishul” significantly impacted his life. “I have grown up watching Bachchan ji’s films. ‘Trishul’ is one film that deeply impacted me. I watched it about 60-70 times at that time. I had in mind that I also wanted to become the Amitabh Bachchan of ‘Trishul.’ It motivated me a lot and is somehow responsible for making me move to Mumbai,” he shared.
On the work front, Amitabh Bachchan recently appeared in the film “Vettaiyan” alongside Rajinikanth, which was released in theaters. The film also featured actors Fahadh Faasil and Rana Daggubati. Looking ahead, Bachchan will be seen sharing the screen with Deepika Padukone in the Hindi remake of “The Intern.” In June, the superstar appeared alongside Padukone in the futuristic film “Kalki 2898 AD,” directed by Nag Ashwin.
