Kaun Banega Crorepati 16 episode: In an episode that paid homage to the Diwali celebrations, ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 16’ hosted by Amitabh Bachchan, featured a memorable moment that left the audience and viewers in awe.
The special guest appearance by Bollywood’s Varun Dhawan and the renowned director duo Raj & DK brought an additional spark to the show aired on Sony Entertainment Television. During the episode, Amitabh Bachchan, fondly known as Big B, took everyone down memory lane by revisiting a classic dialogue from his iconic film, ‘Agneepath,’ which highlighted his character, Vijay Deenanath Chauhan.
The dialogue recreation by Amitabh Bachchan was not only a tribute to his character but also a nostalgic journey for the audience, who were visibly moved by the performance. As Bachchan delivered the dialogue with the same intensity and depth that he had years ago, it was a sight to behold, compelling the audience to give him a standing ovation. This moment was a testament to the actor’s enduring legacy and his ability to captivate audiences across generations.
During the episode, the conversation delved into the intricacies of Bachchan’s portrayal of Vijay Deenanath Chauhan. Varun Dhawan expressed his admiration for the film and Bachchan’s role, highlighting its lasting impact. In response to Dhawan’s curiosity about how Bachchan approached the character, especially the voice modulation, Big B shared an insightful anecdote. He revealed that the character’s distinct voice was a spontaneous decision made on the first day of shooting, inspired by a man known to Kalyanji-Anandji who possessed a similar deep tone. Interestingly, this decision led to a significant challenge when audiences initially struggled to recognize Bachchan’s voice, prompting a re-dub of the entire film in his normal voice.
Varun Dhawan, impressed by the story, requested Amitabh Bachchan to perform the iconic dialogue once again. Obliging, Bachchan delivered the lines with remarkable intensity, “Vijay Dinanath Chauhan pura naam, maa ka naam Suhasini Chauhan, gaanv Mandva, Umar 36 saal 9 mahina 8 din 16 ghanta, ye duniya bhot bigdi hui hai Gaitonde saheb ye duniya mai sahi rehena accha nhi hai, jo sahi ho gaya voh gaya upar, aapko malum hai aaj sham 6 baji hamara appointment hai maa ke sath, 6 baje, appointment english bolta hai…” This performance not only echoed the past but also showcased the timeless appeal of Amitabh Bachchan’s acting prowess.
Raj, one of the directors, added to the praises by highlighting how Bachchan has been an inspiration across generations of actors, many of whom attempt to emulate his style in their performances. He noted, “You have been a hero for so many generations that even new actors try to capture your style in certain scenes. I tell them only you can truly embody that character.”
