From 'Paa' to 'Kalki 2898 AD': 12 roles proving Bachchans range

Across five decades, Amitabh Bachchan has transformed himself again and again, shaping each role through his voice, posture, rhythm, and meticulous physical work. He treats makeup as an extension of performance, whether subtle aging lines, heavy prosthetics, or stylized looks that redefine his silhouette. His eyes often carry the emotional core, while pauses and measured dialogue delivery build tension without excess. He adjusts gait, breathing, and vocal texture to match age, class, and temperament. From towering authority figures to fragile elders and eccentric personalities, Bachchan commits fully to each character, proving that discipline, restraint, and precision remain his greatest tools as an actor.
