These directors made Amitabh the Big B of Bollywood, more than one name in the list

Call it Big B, call it Angry Youngman or Shahenshah of Bollywood… How did he get all the nicknames of Amitabh Bachchan? For what reason did you meet? Do you know? If not, then in this report we tell you… and not only tell, we introduce you to the legendary directors who made Amitabh the Big B of Bollywood. On Amitabh’s 80th birthday, we meet, those famous directors…

Hrishikesh Mukherjee: There was a time when Amitabh’s image had become that of an angry young man, but Hrishikesh Mukherjee saw a sweet and likeable young man in him. Amitabh and Hrishikesh worked together in about nine films. Every time Hrishikesh brought out a new artist from inside Big B. Such expressions of resentment, jealousy, laughter and pity were seen in Amitabh Bachchan, which were never seen before in films like Mili, Abhimaan and Chupke Chupke. In Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s films, every character of Big B was seen to be connected to the ground.

Prakash Mehra: If Amitabh Bachchan becomes a household name, there are only two reasons behind it. First Prakash Mehra and second Zanjeer movie. Big B played the character of an honest cop in this film released in 1973. This film proved to be the turning point for his career. Prakash Mehra and Amitabh acted in several films, including Namak Halal, Laawaris, Muqaddar Ka Sikandar and Sharabi.

Manmohan Desai: If we talk about such directors, who influenced Amitabh Bachchan the most, then Manmohan Desai will be at the top of this list. Actually, Manmohan Desai made Amitabh Bachchan the true gold for the box office and the master of masala entertainment. Apart from Amar Akbar Anthony, the pair made great films like Parvarish, Suhaag, Naseeb, Desh Premi, Coolie and Mard. However, the last two films made in their jugalbandi, Ganga Jamuna Saraswati and Toofan were flops at the box office.

Yash Chopra: Before Yash Chopra’s entry in Amitabh’s life, Big B’s career was going on the same line. He would either play the role of a purely romantic hero or be seen in the role of a cop. In such a situation, Yash Chopra introduced people to a brand new look of Bachchan. He weaved such characters for Amitabh, who became immortal. The pair of both first worked in Deewar, whose best dialogues are still on everyone’s tongue. Apart from this, films like Trishul, Kala Patthar, Kabhi Kabhi and Silsila proved to be milestones in Big B’s career.
