Amitabh Bachchan has acted in over 200 movies including several iconic titles. The 81-year-old star enjoys a fan following internationally as well.
The 45th edition of the esteemed Festival des 3 Continents, to be held from November 24 to December 3, 2023, in Nantes, France, will showcase a retrospective titled Amitabh Bachchan, Big B Forever. The retrospective will highlight nine of the living legend’s blockbuster films, including Abhimaan, Sholay, Deewaar, Kabhie Kabhie, Amar Akbar Anthony, Trishul, Don and Kaala Patthar.

Shweta Bachchan, the daughter of the famous film actor, will be going to Nantes to attend the festival on behalf of her father.

In a statement, Amitabh said, ‘Film Heritage Foundation’s initiative to bring classic Indian films back on the big screen in India has been truly remarkable. I am so pleased to hear that they are co-presenting a selection of nine of my early films at one of the oldest and most reputed film festivals – the Festival des 3 Continents in Nantes, especially as it focuses on the cinema of Africa, Latin America and Asia.’

‘Many of these films gave me an opportunity to play a diverse range of characters and work with some of the most significant filmmakers of the time including Hrishikesh Mukherjee, Manmohan Desai, Yash Chopra and Ramesh Sippy. I hope that the festival audience will enjoy the selection of films that continue to give so much joy to viewers even half a century since they were made. Even though I will not be there in person, I am delighted that my daughter Shweta will be in Nantes to represent me at the festival,’ he added.
