This actor who gave 16 flop films is none other than Amitabh Bachchan who is today called the superstar of Bollywood. But achieving this position was like any other struggle for him. He became a superstar after many ups and downs. After being out of ‘Duniya Ka Mela’ and 16 films failing at the box office, he began to receive less work in the industry. But today, whatever film he works in, it proves to be a superhit. His presence in the film itself becomes a big deal. Recently, Raza Murad made many revelations about Big B. Raza Murad said, ‘When luck was in his favor, everything went well.
Before ‘Zanjeer’, Prakash Mehra had offered the film to legends like Dilip Kumar, Dharmendra, Dev Anand, and Rajkumar, but all of them refused. They were scared because the film was too focused on a single person. Prakash Mehra finally had to recommend Jaya Bachchan to cast Amitabh Bachchan and then Amitabh’s luck shone. He created history with a single superhit movie after 16 flops. In his conversation with Filmy Charcha, Murad said, ‘You need 90% luck to succeed in the industry. The right script meets the right actor… it is never that success is achieved only by hard work.
For those of you who don’t know, let us tell you that ‘Zanjeer’ took his career from rags to riches. After this film, many changes were seen in Bollywood as well. This film is an example of how fate can change an entire career. This film is still proof that sometimes, one must keep hope even in bad times to achieve success.
