Amitabh Bachchan: The man who stole Rajesh Khanna's thunder, Big B went on to dominate the Hindi film industry in the 70's and 80's. Starting with 'Zanjeer' (1973), he acted in most of the commercial successful movies over the next decade, alternating between hard-hitting and comic roles while having no qualms playing the anti-hero as well. Evergreen films like 'Sholay', (1975), 'Deewar' (1975), 'Amar Akbar Anthony' (1977), 'Trishul' (1978), Don, (1978) 'Namak Halaal' (1982) and 'Sharaabi' (1984) established him as the superstar of that era.
