During the 80´s Amitabh Bachchan was not only a mega star in India and among the Indian diaspora. His popularity was widespread across many countries of the Arab world too. In Egypt he was as famous and idolized if not more than he was in India. Check this old youtube video where an Egyptian superstar sings that he wants to be like Amitabh Bachchan. Its a tribute to the megastar. At 1:05 Big B´s name is mentioned followed by a short clip from his movie.

Thanks Rajiv. Loved the video. It indeed proves the effect of Amitabh Bachchan in foreign people too. Big B would be proud of himself if he sees it.
BTW, if there is one pic of Amitabh Bachchan I would love to put as a poster in my room, it would be the one you have used in this post. This man was born to be a SUPERSTAR!! One can tell that just by looking at this pic.
Amitabh has an astonishing on screen charisma in such roles as Kaala Paththar, Deewar where he is the underdog and still fights to do what he thinks is the right thing. Amazing! That photo is from Kaala Paththar if I am not mistaken.
Pardesi - Yeah, the photo is from Kaala Patthar. Scene - When a local gangster refuses to pay an old crippled man who runs a shop his money. Our HERO comes and helps the old man and OFC beats that gangster and his gang. :). An amazing film, which I can watch again and again. My personal favorite is Deewar. Nothing beats that EPIC film and performance!!!
