New Delhi . Indian cinema megastar Amitabh Bachchan has done many different experiments along with Hindi films in his long career, but very few people know that he had also made a strong presence in Bhojpuri cinema. The special thing is that he took this decision not because of any major producer or script but because of his close relationship and friendship.

Actually, the biggest reason behind working in Bhojpuri films was his make-up artist Deepak Sawant. There was a deep friendship between the two and when Deepak Sawant proposed to work in Bhojpuri films, Amitabh Bachchan accepted it without thinking much. This is an example where the importance of relationships is clearly visible even in the professional world.

Amitabh Bachchan worked in a total of three Bhojpuri films, which include Ganga Gangotri and Ganga Devi. In these films, he showed the same level of his acting ability for which he is known. The audience also liked him a lot in Bhojpuri style.

Popular stars like Manoj Tiwari and Ravi Kishan were seen with him in the film Ganga. This film created a good recognition among the audience and made Big B’s entry in Bhojpuri cinema special.

After this came the film Gangotri in which Hema Malini and Bhumika Chawla were also in important roles. This film was also liked by the audience and it again proved the versatility of Amitabh Bachchan.

The third film Ganga Devi was even more special because his wife Jaya Bachchan was also seen with him in it. The story of the film was based on social and political background in which the struggle and journey of a woman was shown. Artists like Gulshan Grover and Dinesh Lal Yadav were also included in this film.

    Through these three films, Amitabh Bachchan proved that no matter what the language and industry, if an artist works with true heart then it is sure to be loved by the audience. However, the interesting thing is that after these films, he distanced himself from Bhojpuri cinema and never worked in this industry again.

    Today, when Bhojpuri cinema is growing rapidly and is gaining recognition at the international level, then this short but impressive journey of Amitabh Bachchan becomes even more special. This story is not just about films but is also an example of friendship, trust and the versatility of an artist.
