In a recent episode of 'Kaun Banega Crorepati 15', Amitabh Bachchan shared a touching detail about his debut film, 'Saat Hindustani'. His immediate thought upon securing the role was to dedicate his entire earnings to his parents, Harivansh Rai Bachchan and Teji Bachchan.

His journey in the film industry began after a recommendation from a friend, leading to his casting by filmmaker Khwaja Ahmad Abbas. Abbas notably sought the approval of Bachchan's father before finalising the actor for the film.
