The
angry
young
man
is
turning
77
today
while
he
continues
to
collaborate
with
the
brightest
minds
of
Bollywood
till
date.
Here
is
a
compilation
by
IANS,
of
Bollywood
celebrities
recounting
their
experience
of
working
with
Amitabh
Bachchan.
Sujoy
Ghosh,
one
of
the
brilliant
filmmakers
of
thrillers
in
the
new
age,
directed
the
veteran
actor
in
Badla.
About
the
quality
Amitabh
brings
to
a
project
with
his
acting
skills,
Sujoy
said,
"I
can't
quantify
it."
He
added,
"Whatever
he
does
is
always
beyond
the
level.
I
am
no
one
to
talk
about
him.
He
is
The
Legend.
He
taught
me
a
lot,
especially
the
fact
that
it
is
important
to
become
a
good
person
before
being
a
good
director."
Actor
Manav
Kaul
worked
with
Bachchan
in
Wazir.
He
recollected
the
first
time
they
interacted.
Kaul
said
he
had
met
Amitabh
for
the
first
time
in
Glasgow,
where
they
had
a
small
talk.
The
actor
stated,
"We
started
chatting
because
there
was
no
one
else
in
the
room,
and
all
along
you
have
to
remind
yourself
he
is
real!
I
mean,
he
is
huge,
humongous
but
it
was
a
sheer
pleasure
to
discover
how
humble
and
down-to-earth
he
is
and
how
accessible
he
is."
Ayushmann
Khurrana
will
be
sharing
screen
space
with
Amitabh
in

Sircar's
Gulabo
Sitabo.
Shoojit
had
earlier
worked
with
Big
B
in
Piku,
which
won
the
veteran,
a
National
Award.
Ayushmann

working
on
a
project
with
Big
B
and
Shoojit
was
like
being
part
of
a
"dream
team".
