Amitabh Bachchan’s parents were seen in his film
Amitabh Bachchan made his debut in the cinema world in 1969. His first film was ‘Saat Hindustani’. Who doesn’t know about his film journey. When Amitabh had not become a star, his parents were well-known names in the country and the world. With his tremendous acting, Amitabh Bachchan gained a lot of love and fame. However, Big B has seen every kind of phase in his career. There was a time when all his films were continuously flopping. After back to back flops, ‘Zanjeer’ came, which gave new wings to his shrinking career. You must be aware of Amitabh Bachchan’s journey, but do you know that his mother Teji Bachchan was also very fond of theaters and plays. Not only this, she was also a part of a cult classic. On the occasion of Teji Bachchan’s birth anniversary, let us tell you about this film of his.
Teji Bachchan was seen in Amitabh Bachchan’s film
The film we are talking about was released in 1976 and proved to be a cult classic. This film not only rocked the box office but also changed the image of his son Amitabh Bachchan. Not only Teji Bachchan, but Big B’s father and late writer-poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan also acted in this film. That is, not only Amitabh Bachchan, his parents have also proved their acting prowess.
These artists were seen with Big B

Angry young man becomes romantic hero
Yash Chopra got the idea of making this film after reading a years old poem by the great lyricist Sahir Ludhianvi, whose title was ‘Kabhi-Kabhi’. Both Yash Chopra and Amitabh Bachchan took a big risk for Kabhi Kabhi, because this was the time when Amitabh’s image was that of an angry young man and the audience liked this style of his. Neither Yash Chopra nor Amitabh Bachchan knew what the audience’s reaction would be after seeing such an actor reading a poem.
