The 90s decade besides the computer, electronic media and the internet saw the rise of web portals. I was heading a creative time appointed to create a portal exclusively on Amitabh Bachchan and was compiling credits and trivia of all his films. At that time I had imagined I would bring out a regular size book on the actor and call it Bachchan Filmography. A chance meeting with Neville Tulli of Osians was the beginning of a magnificent book Bachchanalia (2009) published a decade after my first The Legend on the actor in 1999. Bachchanalia is a celebration of an actor’s extraordinary body of work spanning 4 decades and 100 plus films.
It was the first time a book event was held at NCPA Theatre combined with a poster gallery and there were people sitting on the steps just to listen to the baritone.
