In Conversation with Amitabh Bachchan

Asian Network replays Tommy Sandhu's interview with Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan, who discusses his five-decade career.

Asian Network Presents replays In Conversation with Amitabh Bachchan. Fondly known as 'The Big B' and labelled India's first 'angry young man' after his early film hits, he talks candidly about his 40 plus years on the big screen in nearly 200 films. Recorded in January of this year at the Bloomsbury theatre and in front of Asian Network listeners, the living legend talks about the pitfalls of stardom, the joys of being a grandfather and the shocking near fatal accident on the sets of 'Coolie' that brought India to a stand still and saw thousands of fans join prayer vigils outside his hospital.
