Amitabh Bachchan gets mobbed
In a video shared by a paparazzo, Amitabh was seen inside a building as a massive crowd surrounded him, leading to a stampede-like situation where the glass entrance gate broke and fell. His security and the police were seen struggling to make way for him as the mob gathered around him.
Reacting to a clip shared on Instagram, a fan said, “Leave him alone, he is 83.” A person wrote, “Why would you jump on him? He’s an actor but also a human.” A comment read, “Don’t do this, it is horrible. It’s overwhelming.” An Instagram user said, “Mobbing an elderly person, even if he is an actor, isn’t done. Let him be. Click pictures from a distance.”

Amitabh Bachchan’s upcoming movies
On the film front, Amitabh Bachchan will next be seen in the long-delayed Hindi remake of The Intern. Deepika Padukone, who was originally set to star alongside Big B, decided to step away from her role last year. The actor also has Kalki 2, where he reprises his role of Ashwatthama.
Amitabh Bachchan recently shared a candid reflection on the quiet phase that arrives as the season of his quiz-based reality show, Kaun Banega Crorepati, nears its end. He took to his blog on Tumblr and wrote, “It’s been hardly a few days to the end of the season, and the days seem too long to bring to some semblance of the ethics of work.. (sic).” The thespian noted that with just a few days left before the season wraps up, time seems to stretch endlessly. “No work is a synonym for a sluggish walk through a wet vast wasteland… stuck in it.. shall try the very best to pull the weary legs out and move (sic).”
