Amitabh Harivansh Bachchan (IPA: [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, and has since appeared in over 180 Indian films in a career spanning more than four decades.[2][3] Bachchan is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential actors in the history of Indian cinema.[4][5][6] 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".
