A boy from Allahabad started off as the Angry Young Man and went on to become the Shahenshah of Bollywood. Well into his 70s and still going strong, Amitabh Bachchan's versatility and indomitable spirit has set a benchmark only few can match up to. Over a memorable career that spans decades, the legend has each time been able to breathe life into every character so very seamlessly.

Known to always pack a punch, we this time see him as Mirza in the upcoming Gulabo Sitabo. With a look not many would have expected, it isn't the first time that Amitabh Bachchan has left fans spellbound with his appearance. Here are 5 memorable roles played by the legend that prove he's a master of disguise unlike no other.

Mirza

The excellence of Mr. Bachchan could be understood from the recent news doing the rounds about him roaming freely in the streets of Lucknow during the shooting of Amazon Prime Video's Gulabo Sitabo without a single soul recognizing him. If this is not how you master a disguise, then we don't know what is.

Auro

Mr. Bachchan's acting in Paa was so childish, yet mature and intense that there might hardly have been any dry eyes in the theatres. There was not a single moment in the film where you thought it was the actor and not a school-going-kid. All you had to do was see his innocent expressions to fall in love with Auro. For those who have watched the movie, Auro didn't pass away. He's a character that lives in our heart forever.
