Amitabh Bachchan is counted among the legendary actors in the Bollywood industry. He carved a niche for himself in cinema with hit movies like Don, Sholay, Paa, Piku and many more. However, just like everyone, Big B was once going through a bad phase in his career. With films like Sooryavansham and Bade Miya Chote Miya, he was giving back-to-back flops. In order to save his dying career, he reached out to Yash Chopra and that’s when he was offered to play the iconic role of Narayan Shankar, the Dean of Gurukul in Mohabbatein.
