Celebrating anniversaries in a cutthroat industry isn’t easy, but Amitabh Bachchan isn’t your normal Bollywood celebrity. The veteran actor has only been in the Indian film industry for 52 years, but with his upcoming flicks, he won’t be out of the spotlight for long. He has been nailing his roles since his debut, and with this sweet reminder, he enlightened us with his memorable journey.
On Sunday, the megastar used his Twitter account to commemorate the occasion by tweeting fun facts. Amitabh Bachchan announced on November 7 that ‘Saat Hindustani’ was his Bollywood debut. He also posted two vintage photos from the 1969 film. Khwaja Ahmad Abbas wrote and directed the film, which tells the narrative of seven Indians who attempted to free Goa from Portuguese colonial authorities. Bachchan’s stepping stone into the Hindi cinema industry back then was the Bollywood cult hit, which received multiple National Awards. Even now, it appears that Amitabh can’t be stopped.

The experienced actor, who is currently recovering from a toe ailment, has a stacked filmography. Khwaja Ahmad Abbas wrote and directed the film, which tells the narrative of seven Indians who attempted to free Goa from the Portuguese colonial overlords. The Bollywood cult classic was Bachchan’s stepping stone into the Hindi cinema industry at the time, winning multiple National Awards.
The first of the two images shows Amitabh Bachchan as a young man with a solemn expression on his face. In the second picture, he can be seen in what seems to be calm from the movie Saat Hindustani, beside the heavenly cast. In addition to the amazing photo, he also shared a vintage throwback photo of the four seated in nearly identical poses decades ago. While Shweta sits on Amitabh Bachchan’s knee in the throwback shot, Abhishek is cradled in Jaya Bachchan’s arms.
