By the mid-'80s Bachchan began to repeat himself: he became a caricature of the vintage Bachchan, an actor trapped in his own image. Directors were reluctant to exploit his versatility and range: the intensity and depth of feeling he brought to films like Saudagar, Mili, Abhimaan has few parallels. The angry young man became the angry middle-aged man. The penultimate decade of the millennium saw Shah Rukh Khan rush past: he took the flame of anger but added a touch of the psychotic and not a small measure of irreverence.

It was his 13th film 'Zanjeer’, directed by Prakash Mehra, which catapulted Amitabh to fame. In the film, he played a strict police officer. The role, which fetched him the title ‘The Angry Young Man’, came to him by default. A host of actors like Dharmendra, Dev Anand and Raj Kumar refused to do the role on account of some apprehension.
