Amitabh Bachchan shares pics as shoots get halted due to partial lockdown in Maharashtra: 'Time to live with Babuji'

Amitabh Bachchan reminisced about the time when films like Don, Ganga Ki Saugandh and Trishul ran in movie theatres for 50-100 weeks.

Actor Amitabh Bachchan remembered the 1970s when he gave some of his biggest hits, including Don, Trishul and Muqaddar Ka Sikandar. He compared the success of films in that bygone era, when films would run in theatres for 50 to 100 weeks, to now when OTT platforms are defining the new parameters of success.

Amitabh Bachchan shares his thoughts on the lockdown that resulted in shooting being halted.

He shared a picture of himself and captioned it, "The 1970’ S .. and the years when films did 50 weeks and 100 weeks .. and 6-7 Of them being released in the same year .. DON , KASME VAADE, TRISHUL, MUQADDAR KA SIKANDAR, GANGA KI SAUGANDH etc and all doing more than 50 weeks .. now OTT millions make success graphs .." His son, actor Abhishek Bachchan, recently had an OTT release - The Big Bull. The film is being widely appreciated.
