A career spanning close to five decades and it’s hard to imagine any role or character that Amitabh Bachchan has not portrayed. Be it the ‘Angry Young Man’ or those with grey shades, the veteran actor has showcased an array of performances over the year. In fact, we need the megastar himself to remind some of the roles that he probably would’ve missed in his career. Amitabh Bachchan had a child-like exuberance even after so many years in the industry, when he got the opportunity to step into the shoes of a doctor and astronaut, thanks to cinema.

The megastar has played the role of a doctor before, in the cult classic ‘Anand’ alongside Rajesh Khanna. But the role of an astronaut is perhaps one he hasn’t played before.  

While Amitabh Bachchan’s roles as a police officer, coolie, a lawyer have attained massive love, his fans would hope that these portrayals also turn out to be the best in his career. It is not clear which film Amitabh Bachchan shot in these get-ups for.
