Amitabh Bachchan, the great Megastar must have had many memorable birthday celebrations, but one can bet the surprise party hosted by Madhu Matena and Sheetal Talwar, producers of his upcoming film, “Rann”, must have been the most unique and ‘off-beat’ of them all.
On the eve of his 67th birthday Madhu Matena and Sheetal invited him on the pretext of a promotional event for the film Rann. In fact the function was held to celebrate his commendable 40 years in Indian film Industry..
On this occasion 40 actors disguised as the famous celluloid characters that have made him immortal, enacted some of his scenes and dialogues, for him. This must have indeed been a great moment of his life.
In her interview one of the producers Sheetal Talwar told newspersons, that, “Mr. Bachchan’s 40- year- old journey in Hindi cinema is exceptional in every sense. He started his career with ‘Saat Hindustani’ in 1969 and that’s where our staged homage begins.”
Some of the characters portrayed were from his memorable characters in ‘Zanjeer’, sholay, Sarkar, Amar Akbar Anthony and ‘Deewar’, etc.
As for finding the people to portray those roles? Well nothing could be easier. With the Megastar’s popularity it was not at all difficult people were more than willing to live the characters, immortalized by the Great Icon of the Indian screen.
