FOR THOSE WHO ARE FAN OF BIG B Twenty-five years after Indian Independence...Disillusionment had set in amongst the youth of the country. There was much corruption and unemployment and life was one big struggle. During this period in 1973, a film was released - Zanjeer. The film saw a new kind of hero, a hero who took the law in his own hands and fought the villain;a hero whom people saw as their savior. The actor playing the lead role, till then a struggler with a string of flops behind him, was Amitabh Bachchan.

Amitabh Bachchan JEE -- the "Shahenshah" of Bollywood was born to well-known poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan and Teji Bachchan in Allahabad on October 11, 1942.

Amitabh JEE went to Sherwood College, a boarding school in Nainital, and then to Kirori Mal College in Delhi University where he earned a double MA.

The elder son of Harivansh Rai Bachchan was a former stage actor, radio announcer and freight company executive in Shaw Wallace in Calcutta, before coming to the land of dreams, Bombay (now Mumbai). He had to struggle a lot in Bollywood because of his unconventional looks and his height. At 6'3", he was considered far too tall by the filmmakers. Surprisingly, despite having a rich baritone voice, Bachchan failed in an audition at the All India Radio!

Ultimately, it was K A Abbas who gave Amitabh JEE his first break in "Saat Hindustani" (1969). But the film failed miserably, with Bachchan going almost unnoticed.

Amitabh played the lead role, for the first time in his career, in "Pyar Ki Kahani" (1971), directed by Ravikant Nagaich.

It was on the sets of B R Ishara's "Ek Nazar" (1972) that Amitabh and Jaya Bhaduri realized that they were in love with each other. They married soon after.

Though Amitabh JEE got an award for the best supporting actor for "Anand" (1972), he was eclipsed by a stellar performance from Rajesh Khanna.

It was his 13th film "Zanjeer", directed by Prakash Mehra, which catapulted Amitabh JEE to fame. In the film, he played a strict police officer. The role, which fetched him the title "The Angry Young Man", came to him by default. A host of actors like Dharmendra, Dev Anand and Raj Kumar refused to do the role on account of some apprehension.

Then began a remarkable journey to fame and success. In no time the Indian film industry was declared a "One Man" Industry, and Bachchan its undisputed king.
