Mumbai, October 11: Megastar Amitabh Bachchan’s birthday is not lesser than any festival for his fans. As the legendary actor turned 82 this October 11, his admirers on Friday, like every year gather outside his house to get a glimpse of him.

They were seen shouting and taking pictures of ‘Shahenshah of Bollywood’.

The legendary star did not disappoint and came outside for a few minutes to greet his fans outside his house Jalsa.

He was greeted with cheers from devoted admirers. And the birthday wishes came pouring in from other sources, including Bollywood celebrities, film producers etc.

Producer Anand Pandit took a stroll down memory lane and reflected on how the megastar’s iconic film ‘Trishul’ impacted him. “I have grown up watching Bachchan ji’s films. ‘Trishul’ is one film that deeply impacted me. I watched it about 60-70 times at that time. I had in mind that I also wanted to become the Amitabh Bachchan of Trishul. It motivated me a lot and it’s somehow responsible for making me move to Mumbai,” Anand Pandit told ANI.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Amitabh Bachchan’s film ‘Vettaiyan’ with Rajinikanth was released in theaters recently. In the film, Big B shared screen space with Fahadh Faasil and Rana Daggubati.

In the coming months, he will also be seen alongside Deepika Padukone in the Hindi remake of ‘The Intern’.

In June this year, he and Deepika were seen in the futuristic film ‘Kalki 2898 AD’. Directed by Nag Ashwin, the post-apocalyptic film was inspired by Hindu scriptures and was set in 2898 AD. Kamal Haasan, Prabhas and Disha Patani were also part of the film.
