Bollywood 'Shehanshah' rejoices at completing 48 years in film

Veteran film actor Amitabh Bachchan, who joined Bollywood on February 15, 1969, celebrated 48 years of acting on Wednesday.

The ‘Shehanshah’ tweeted late last night about Saat Hindustani – his first project in the B-world – which portrays the story of seven people in Portuguese-controlled Goa.

Big B, who has appeared in almost 200 movies to date over his five-decade-long career, shared pictures from the set of his debut film as well.

The legendary star, who is famous for innumerable songs, including Sara Zamana Haseeno Ka Deewana and O Saathi Re, is only two years away from his half-century in the entertainment industry.

Currently, the 74-year-old icon is known to be working on two films. Vijay Krishna Acharya-directed Thugs of Hindostan, which is based on Philip Meadows Taylor’s novel Confessions of a Thug and has Aamir Khan in it as well, is slated for release on Diwali next year, while Dragon – a superhero film starring Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt – is produced by Karan Johar, and is said to hit the cinemas in this year’s first half.
