Amitabh Harivansh Bachchan ([əmɪˈtaːbʱ ˈbəttʃən]; born 11 October 1942) is an Indian film actor. He first gained popularity in the early 1970s for movies like Deewar and Zanjeer, and was dubbed India's first "angry young man" for his on-screen roles in Bollywood. He has since appeared in over 180 Indian films in a career spanning more than four decades. Bachchan is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential actors in the history of Indian cinema. So total was his dominance of the movie scene in the 1970s and 1980s that the French director François Truffaut called him a "one-man industry."

Bachchan has won many major awards in his career, including three National Film Awards as Best Actor, a number of awards at international film festivals and award ceremonies and fourteen Filmfare Awards. He is the most-nominated performer in any major acting category at Filmfare, with 39 nominations overall. In addition to acting, Bachchan has worked as a playback singer, film producer and television presenter. He also had a stint in politics in the 1980s.

The Government of India honoured him with the Padma Shri in 1984, the Padma Bhushan in 2001 and the Padma Vibhushan in 2015 for his contributions to the arts. The Government of France honoured him with its highest civilian honour, Knight of the Legion of Honour, in 2007 for his exceptional career in the world of cinema and beyond.

Bachchan made his Hollywood debut in 2013 with The Great Gatsby, in which he played a non-Indian Jewish character, Meyer Wolfsheim.

Biography

Amitabh Bachchan naît à Allahabad, en Inde. Son père, Harivansh Rai Bachchan, était un poète célèbre ; nommé « Srivastava », il s'est fait connaître sous le nom de « Bachchan », un nom que toute la famille a fini par adopter. Sa mère, Teji Bachchan, était originaire du Pendjab.

Après le lycée à Allahabad, Amitabh Bachchan poursuit ses études et obtient un diplôme d'art puis un diplôme en science. Il tente ensuite sa chance au théâtre, devient animateur dans une station de radio puis occupe une place de cadre dans une compagnie de transport de Kolkata. À 26 ans, il se tourne vers le cinéma. Saat Hindustani, le film dans lequel il débute, sort en 1969. Quatre ans plus tard, Amitabh Bachchan incarne un jeune homme en colère dans Zanjeer. Il retrouve le même rôle en 1975 dans Deewaar, sous la direction de Yash Chopra. Il est alors au sommet de la gloire et y restera de nombreuses années. Pendant cette période, il se voit décerner le surnom de « Angry Young Man » (jeune homme en colère) à cause des nombreux rôles de rebelle qu'il incarne.

Amitabh Bachchan se marie avec l'actrice Jaya Bhaduri. Deux enfants voient le jour, une fille, Shweta et un fils, Abhishek, qui comme ses parents, devient acteur et épouse l'actrice Aishwarya Rai.

En 1982, Amitabh Bachchan est grièvement blessé au cours du tournage de Coolie. Il met alors de côté sa carrière d'acteur et fonde une société de production cinématographique, l'ABCL (Amitabh Bachchan Corporation Limited).

En 1984, il démarre une carrière dans la politique avec l'appui de Rajiv Gandhi, un ami de longue date de la famille. Il obtient un siège au Parlement d'Allahabad après avoir remporté les élections avec plus de 68 % des votes. Trois ans plus tard, il démissionne. Il est soupçonné d'être impliqué dans l'affaire Bofors et ses adversaires politiques s'acharnent à ternir son image. Il quitte définitivement la politique puis part se changer les idées à l'étranger. Il revient au cinéma à la fin des années 1980, mais le succès n'est que rarement au rendez-vous.

Dix ans plus tard, il effectue enfin son retour. Il a accepté de jouer l'animateur de la version indienne de Qui veut gagner des millions ? (Kaun Banega Crorepati) qui devient très populaire. Il la présente pendant deux saisons avant que Shah Rukh Khan n'accepte le rôle. Brocardé par les critiques, boudé par le public, il est néanmoins élu superstar du millénaire par la BBC en 1999. En juin 2000, une statue, réalisée par Stuart Williamson, à son effigie est érigée au musée de Madame Tussaud à Londres. Les sorties de Mohabbatein (2000) puis de La Famille indienne (2001) permettent à l'acteur de jouir à nouveau d'une immense popularité. Le réalisateur Sanjay Leela Bhansali donne à Amitabh Bachchan son rôle le plus émouvant dans Black, un drame sorti début 2005, unanimement salué par les critiques, le public, et toute la profession. Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, son nouveau film, est annoncé comme l'un des films les plus importants de l'année 2006.

En octobre 2006, Amitabh Bachchan est promu au grade d'officier dans l'ordre national de la Légion d'honneur. Sa décoration lui a été remise le 3 février 2007 par l'ambassadeur de France en Inde Dominique Girard, qui a salué « une icône de l'Inde », au cours d'une cérémonie à l'ambassade de France à New Delhi, devant 400 invités et une centaine de journalistes.

A young boy named Rana, who hails from the kingdom of Kottaipattinam, leaves his family, despite his brother Sena pleading him not to do so. The boy soon meets with an accident while rowing in the river and is eventually discovered by some fishermen from the neighbouring kingdom of Kalingapuri, a rival of Kottaipattinam. Rana (Rajinikanth) grows up there and trains in weaponry, and grows up to be a fearless warrior. Due to his fighting skills and bravery, he soon wins the confidence of the king of Kalingapuri, Raja Mahendran, who promotes him as Commander-in-Chief of the Kalingapuri army. Rana's first job as Commander-in-Chief is to free the soldiers of his hometown Kottaipattinam, who are being treated as slaves, enlist them in the army and train them. He then seeks the permission of Raja Mahendran to attack Kottaipattinam, to which the latter agrees. However, during the war, Rana encounters his childhood friend, crown prince Sengodagan, the son of Rishikodagan, king of Kottaipattinam. Immediately signalling an end to the war, he, along with the soldiers disown Kalingapuri and return to Kottaipattinam, much to the disgust of Raja Mahendran and his son, crown prince Veera Mahendran, who swear revenge on Rana for tricking them and betraying Kalingapuri.
