However, it was Zanjeer that catapulted him to nationwide fame but did you know he wasn’t the first choice for the role of Inspector Vijay Khanna?
Here’s a look at 4 blockbusters that were rejected by other superstars before Amitabh Bachchan got on board and made history:īefore Zanjeer happened, Amitabh Bachchan had garnered attention with his supporting role in Rajesh Khanna starrer Anand and his leading role in Mehmood’s road comedy Bombay to Goa. While it is difficult to imagine anyone but Amitabh Bachchan playing such cult characters, the truth is some of his major blockbuster films didn’t initially star Big B. He then starred in several other films before making it big with Yash Chopra’s Deewar which was followed by all-time blockbuster Sholay (1975), Muqaddar Ka Sikandar (1978) & Don (1978), Amar Akbar Anthony (1977) & Trishul (1978) among others. Amitabh Bachchan made his debut with the 1969 film Saat Hindustani and went on to several other supporting roles before his big breakout in Prakash Mehra’s 1973 hit Zanjeer.
