THE BACHCHAN SUPREMACY

1 AMITABH BACHCHAN 26 [24.1]

At 81, US President Joe Biden may have called it a day after over five decades in politics, but Amitabh 'the GOAT' Bachchan is still duelling with men half his age on screen. In doing so, he is not only winning hearts but also keeping the box office counters ringing with movies like Kalki 2898 AD. Whether it be his long hosting stint at Kaun Banega Crorepati, marked by an admirable balance of curiosity, charm and gravitas, or his stream of meticulously numbered tweets, Bachchan is delivering a masterclass in how to keep your cinematic career going. In doing so, he has also reclaimed the throne he had relinquished earlier this year to Shah Rukh Khan, who had a fabulous 2023, courtesy two back-to-back blockbusters. After a hiatus this year, Shah Rukh will next be seen in King, a home production in which he will share the screen with his daughter, Suhana Khan.
