Amitabh Bachchan began his acting career in 1969 with the film “Saat Hindustani”. His initial films were major flops and he was rejected as a hero by people at large. However, he never gave up and kept struggling and working until he became the “Shahenshah” of Bollywood. Even at the age of 80, he is unstoppable. Last year, he was a part of several big films like “Jhund”, “Brahmastra”, “Goodbye” and “Uunchaai”. He hosted a season of “Kaun Banega Crorepati” as well. Despite several health issues, he keeps working and entertaining the audience. Veteran actor Prem Chopra is surprised to see Amitabh Bachchan’s stamina at this age.
During an exclusive interview with senior journalist Bharathi S Pradhan, actor Prem Chopra praised Amitabh Bachchan’s dedication and body of work. He then also went on to mention the qualities that made him the superstar he is!
Prem said, “Amitabh Bachchan was a very quiet sort of a man. Introvert but brilliant. Very hard-working, very punctual and well-prepared before he comes to the set. He explodes on the screen. I did a lot of films with him. I was very impressed by him because he was very dedicated to his profession. He was very honest and hard-working. He was director’s dream actor. He had that immense talent in him.”
