Amitabh Bachchan and Prakash Mehra

When Rajesh Khanna's regime was at its peak, Prakash Mehra introduced the angry young man as Vijay in 'Zanjeer' the fearless honest cop played by Amitabh Bachchan broke the norms of a soft romantic hero and changed it to the angry' voice of the nation which was fighting emergency and corruption during the early 70's.

Amitabh Bachchan and Man Mohan Desai

B-town synonyms for blockbuster' during its time Amitabh Bachchan and Man Mohan Desai combo was looked upon as sheer box office magic.
