Amitabh Bachchan turns 77: How the veteran superstar established a strong South Indian base

Firstpost  

A lot of Amitabh Bachchan films were remade in the South, and the actor starred with a number of South Indian actresses, which only consolidated his fan base. No, these are not answers to ‘name your favourite Amitabh Bachchan role’ but a list of his films, which people saw for the first time in a movie hall in South India. Though Anand and Aradhana made Rajesh Khanna a household name in Tamil Nadu, it was Amitabh Bachchan who made his firm mark in South Indian cinema, with his brooding countenance and deep baritone in Zanjeer. Also, other than Jeetendra, whose films were mainly south remakes of family dramas, it was Amitabh Bachchan who starred with many south-Indian heroines – Hema Malini, Rekha, Madhavi, Jayaprada, Sridevi right up to Radikaa who played his sister in Aaj ka Arjun, Ramya Krishnan and the late Soundarya.
