And they said that the queues were a mile long.” (Also read: When Jaya Bachchan said Amitabh Bachchan ‘frightened’ her. Watch their old video)

Amitabh also recalled delivering back-to-back five box office hits in 1978. He added to the post, “.. released in 1978 .. 44 years !!

Some of them ran more than 50 weeks (at the box office) Kya din the wo bhi (Good old days).”

The nostalgic post has now grabbed the attention of fans and celebrities, such as Maniesh Paul. Reacting to it, a user wrote in the comment section, “Sir your performances in those movies were extra ordinary. Superb acting.” “That’s why you are the Superstar of Millennium, added another one. Someone else commented, “I had watched Don at the film centre. My dad was an assistant cinematographer in Don. I was the fortunate one to watch you (in) Khaikhey Paan at Mehboob studios.”

Amitabh Bachchan will be next seen in Ayan Mukerji’s upcoming film Brahmastra. The three-part fantasy epic will star Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Nagarjuna and Mouni Roy.
