Let me start by saying that I don't know if he is a fraud or not, if he evades taxes or buy land using illegal means, is friends with some not so good names, neither I am concerned about al that because being a comming man I cannot be sure of these aspects of a larger than life persona, whatever the circumsances be, media can always bend its reports and I donot buy these news from even more money minded media houses. When it comes of acting I donot think anybody from Bollywod, Hollywood or Tollywood can come close to Amitabh's versatility. Naseer, Ompuri, Mamooty, Mohan Lal could be good actors; Shahrukhs, Aamir, Kamal Hasan, Rajnikat could be good entertainers and crowd pullers but when it comes of versatility; nobody can be as versatile. Be it the jaggery maker from Saudagar,Suryavansham or Main Aazad hoon (off beat roles),the DON, Deewar, Zanjeer, Agneepath (Angry young man), Satte pe satta & Namak Halal (Comedy)...Black, Aks or any other role...he has been brilliant whatever way the movie would have performed at box office. Try to watch him minutely as he acts and you will realize how brilliant an actor he is, taking care of those minutest details.(Of course that would require you to get a bit of knowledge of acting and its aspects..but if ur a movie buff..y not invest some time in that) Even in movie Paheli, he comes for only 5 minutes and look at the screen presense he got..can anybody say he is the same suave, sophisticated Amitabh and not a gadaria..can u imagin
