New Delhi. An old video of veteran Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan has surfaced, in which Big B is telling why the audience liked his character of ‘Angry Young Man’. Well, not only this, there are many such characters whom people admire till date.
This video going viral is from a British talk show. In this show, Amitabh Bachchan is seen talking about his famous character ‘Angry Young Man’. The credit for molding Amitabh into the character of ‘angry young man’ is given to scriptwriter duo Salim-Javed.
Young people relate to that character of mine
Amitabh Bachchan told about his character during the show, ‘There was some kind of suppressed anger in the minds and hearts of the youth of India, something that they wanted. Those things were neither coming to light nor there was any talk about them. I think perhaps the youth saw a reflection of themselves in the way these roles of mine were portrayed. This character of mine gained immense popularity among the youth.
The image of an angry young man came from this film
Amitabh Bachchan got the image of ‘angry young man’ from the 1973 film ‘Zanjeer’. Amitabh Bachchan played the role of Vijay in this film. This film is one of the most successful films of Amitabh Bachchan’s career. After this film, Amitabh Bachchan got blockbuster films like Deewar and Sholay. The ‘Mahanayaka of the Century’ also spoke to a caller on a British show, the Indian-origin woman asked the actor, ‘Do you read the script of a film before signing it? If not, then on what basis do you choose the film?
Let us tell you that Amitabh Bachchan had replied in reply, ‘Oh dear! You know, I’m actually spilling the beans on this thing because normally we don’t get film scripts. We do not have the script of the film so there is no question of reading it. Most of the time the script is with the director and writers. To be honest, I want to get the script, read it and then accept it in that style.
