Seen as one of Indian cinema's most iconic films, 'Sholay' saw Amitabh Bachchan essay the role of Jai. Ramesh Sippy reportedly wanted to cast Shatrughan Sinha to play the part, before it went to the Big B, who is said to have lobbied hard to get the role.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 2005 film saw Amitabh Bachchan and Rani Mukerji step out of their mainstream commercial roles to leave audiences awestruck. Bachchan essays the role of a tutor (who later develops Alzheimer's) to a deaf-blind girl (Mukerji). The film, inspired from Helen Keller's life, takes you through their journeys, sorrows and joys.
It was without doubt among the best performances by the actors.
Praising the Big B's performance in the film, veteran actor Dilip Kumar had said, "If I remember right, Saira and I were at a loss for words at the premiere night, after the curtain came down, to express our myriad feelings of admiration for your outstanding performance. It is a pity the film missed the Oscar nomination. If any Indian actor, in my personal opinion, deserves the world’s most coveted award, it is you.”

In 2009, Amitabh Bachchan won hearts once again with his portrayal of a 13-year-old boy suffering from Progeria. R. Balki's heart-warming film saw Bachchan play Auro - a fun-loving, school-going teenager suffering from the rare disorder. The film tells the story of Auro and his relationship with his father (Abhishek Bachchan) and mother (Vidya Balan).
The then-67-year-old Bachchan would sit for four hours for the prosthetic makeup to get in character before the shoot, and another 2 hours to take it off.
The movie went on to win not just hearts but also awards, with the Big B bagging a National Award for his performance.
