Amitabh Bachchan’s role in Shahenshah is considered one of his most legendary performances. The film, released in 1998, marked a sort of resurgence for the actor, and he portrayed both a law enforcement officer and a self-appointed defender who fights against criminals. His portrayal of the vigilante with silver hair and a steel arm in a black jacket became an instant classic. Tinnu produced and directed Shahenshah, which also featured Meenakshi Sheshadri, Pran, Aruna Irani, Prem Chopra, Amrish Puri, and Kader Khan. The script was penned by Inder Raj Anand.
Meanwhile, on the professional front, Amitabh Bachchan will next be seen in Vikas Bahl’s directorial film Ganapath alongside Tiger Shroff, Adi Chugh and Kriti Sanon in crucial roles. The movie is all set to release on October 20, 2023. Apart from that, he also has R. Balki’s film Ghoomer opposite Shabana Azmi and Abhishek Bachchan.
