About the Book

A very crisp yet detailed portrayal of Amitabh Bachchan's life - from his early days to date with interesting anecdotes from Mr Bachchan himself Never-before-seen photographs and a mix of movie stills and sketches Gives us a 360-degree view of Bachchan - the actor, the struggler, the family man, the businessman, the politician Amitabh Bachchan. The name itself is enough to make anyone sit up and take notice. A name that has become synonymous with Indian cinema. One of the finest actors of our times and a demigod to many, Amitabh Bachchan, or Big B as he is fondly called by his fans, has had an indelible impact on the big screen as well as the small. As an actor, Bachchan's career spans over an astounding five decades, having essayed myriad characters and having worked with some of the biggest names in the film industry. No words, no adjectives, no superlatives would ever be enough to sum up the complete oeuvre of Amitabh Bachchan the actor. In Amitabh Bachchan: A Kaleidoscope, Pradeep Chandra and Vikas Chandra Sinha have embarked on the near-impossible task of chronicling the course of Amitabh Bachchan's life, from his early days to date. Filled with personal anecdotes from the man himself; quotes from his immediate family, closest friends and colleagues who have been witness to his rise to mega stardom as well as his plummet; a collection of rare and never-seen-before photographs, paintings, sketches and movie stills, the book is a must-read for every Bachchan fan as well as every art and cinema aficionado. The book also gives a bird's-eye view of the many facets of Bachchan - the actor, the struggler, the family man, the businessman, the politician, the activist and above all, the fighter.
