Sun Rise In Life
On 11th October, 1942, a baby boy has born in the home of well-known Hindi poet Shri Harivanshrai Shrivastav (Bachchan the pen name) Amitabh in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh. Brought up, studied well, taken up job, life was moving OK.
One day in 1969 he entered in Hindi film industry as an actor, with a recommendation of that time Prime Minister Smt Indira Gandhi in K. A .Abbas film Saat Hindustani and Night started……
Almost first 12 films started from Saat Hindustani, Sanjog, Reshma Aur Shera, Pyar Ki Kahani, Piya ka Ghar, Parwana, Raaste Ka Patthar, Janan, Garam Masala, Ek Nazar, Bansi Birju and Sudagar during 1969 to 1973 got flopped or not do well of his acting career, for which he left a good job in Calcutta. Film Anand with Rajesh Khanna and Bombay to Goa with great comedian Mehmood made good business but Rajesh Khanna and Mehmood were stars of that time and they got credit. Carrier as an actor was facing Dark Night since starting. A person who has dropped his job carrier for acting facing failure and almost rejection in show business where your business counts more than your acting, someone is investing in you for profit only. Frustration started as well as options also for life, including going back to Allahabad, his native place. Night had disappointed a young and dynamic personality with a dream to become a star. Obviously a label of flop star was sticking on his forehead.
And one fine Midnight when, sky was too dark in Life, like no moon Night THE SUN WAS RISING…………………..
Prakash Mehra, the film's producer and director, was making a film
First, Dharmendra was to play the hero. But he wanted to start a film for his own brother film. Dharmendra was the top actor that time.
Then Dev Anand But the only thing which bugged Dev Anand was that there were no songs in the film. He gave advice director to include three-four songs in the film. And so even, he was ruled out as a hero.
After to Raj Kumar, who had felt, it was a terrific subject and He would like to shoot from the very next day. But he wanted to shoot the film in South due to his schedule in Madras. But, as film’s story was of Mumbai background, it cancelled.
Then one day, Pran, who played the Pathan's role in the film, told Prakash Mehra to consider Amitabh Bachchan. He told him
To see Amitabh's Bombay to Goa. After seeing the film, Prakash Mehra had felt Amitabh as a future star.
Look what he said:-
“I was especially impressed by the fight scene between Amitabh and Shatrughan Sinha in the film. I selected Amitabh because of the emotions his eyes could generate. I thought I should give this man a break in my film even though his earlier films had flopped. Everyone criticised me when I selected him. They came back when O P Ralhan's film Bandhe Haath in which Amitabh acted flopped. There was, No way could my film do well, they said, because, in those days, O P Ralhan's name was bigger than Prakash Mehra's”
People laughed at me because they felt that after making three jubilees, Prakash has gone senile. They used to say, 'Prakash is making an art film.' -As told to Syed Firdaus Ashraf, rediff.com
Despite all comments and well-wishers warning Prakash Mehra kept faith in him and on that time flop-star Amitabh Bachchan and see the result.
Film did well in Calcutta but not in Mumbai for first 4 days. After 4 days Mumbai and film created history and proved milestone film in Indian cinema history. Film proved super hit and a new Super Star has been given by the film and producer-director Prakash Mehra. Film was ZANZEER and New Super Star was ANGRY YOUNG MAN – AMITABH BACHCHAN.
After a Long Dark Night Amitabh observed
SUN RISE IN HIS LIFE.
The Sun not only rose in his life but stayed for a very very long time on the top of the head of Amitabh Bachchan. Amitabh became bigger and bigger and star to super star, say he himself became a Sun. Whole film industry were using his light to enlightened their life. Time passed – Sun set again after a long span of almost 3 decade, once again Night started – failure touched his destiny – and this time Night was stayed for almost 7 years long with Amitabh’s semi-retirement and failure of a venture A B C L’s and some films during this period. Once again label of flop star after a grand successful Era, once again eyes of people were looking as Lost Charm Personality. Many of them had started to neglect him due to his continues failure (Dark Night) But again, The Sun was Rising there. This time Yash Chopra kept faith again in him and once again he witnessed.
SUN RISE IN HIS LIFE
He became BIG B in Indian film industry and got many rewards, awards and Fame as never before. Till today The Sun is on top of his head. Now he is not Star or Super Star but, The Sun of Indian Film Industry who will give Lights and Inspiration for many Years.
"Frankly I've never really subscribed to these adjectives tagging me as an 'icon', 'superstar', etc. I've always thought of myself as an actor doing his job to the best of his ability." Amitabh Bachchan - ACTOR
