DON and now KBC

Amitabh Bacchan, the Bollywood icon is no more limited to the film and television industry. His popularity and brand image needs no description. The person, who has been a significant role player in the success of some of the best of the films of Bollywood has been continuously compared and evaluated with the new DON of Hindi Cinema. Shah Rukh Khan , playing the role of Amitabh in the new DON and taking the seat of Amitabh in Kaun Banega Crore Pati -3 gives a clear idea of what’s going on in SRK’s mind. No doubt, Amitabh has a better image and profile as compared to Shah Rukh . With his seniority and wonderful acting with versatility, Big B leaves every one behind and definitely falls in the “League of Elites,” not just in Bollywood but across the Film industry in the world. He is one of those successful people in the Hindi Cinema who has been playing an active role right from 70s to 90s and to the starting of the 21st century.
In the downs of Amitabh’s chequred life in 90s, he saw a dramatic decline in his popularity. If I remember it correctly, after the failure of ABC Corporation, Amitabh’s venture, he again came back with an image of sophisticated and chevalier as an anchor of Kaun Banega Crore Pati. Though, Shah Rukh could not flush out the new DON as big boxoffice hit as the Amitabh’s older DON, his success or failure as a keystone for the KBC-3 is still awaited.
