‘No One Would Offer Him Films’: Hanif Zaveri on Why Amitabh Bachchan Turned Producer
Amitabh Bachchan Wanted to Become a Producer: There was a time when Amitabh Bachchan wanted to pursue a profession other than acting. Author Hanif Zaveri explains why he wanted to do so.
Amitabh Bachchan is one of Bollywood's most successful actors. From his "angry young man" phase to his powerful performances in his second innings, he has always impressed people. However, there was a period in his professional life when he felt no one would offer him films. Therefore, he decided to become a film producer. Author Hanif Zaveri discusses this.
Hanif Zaveri tells Vicky Lalwani, "Amitabh Bachchan felt he was being dropped from many films. He wasn't sure if he would get work in the future. Therefore, he wanted to become a producer."
When asked if this fear was true, Hanif said, "He was dropped from several films like 'Duniya Ka Mela'." He explained that some filmmakers signed films with Big B, but those films never came to fruition because Amitabh Bachchan's initial films were flops.
