The Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan is often seen as the man who did nothing from nothing – a struggle who made it bigger with hard work. But actress Mumbaz, who acted with her in just one film, has a different opinion. In an interview recently with Radio Nasha, Mutz shared that he did not see any real struggle in Amitabh’s early days. “See, I had to get out of school in fourth grade, and I started working as an additional in films. I was 7 years old and we used to get 500 rupees for a role, out of which I had to give 100 rupees to the person who had got the work, and the rest I used to give to my mother. On the other hand, Amitabh ji was a highly educated and classy man. His father was a known person, and he had a bungalow and a good life, so I do not understand why he needed to become an actor, “he said.,Closed‘ – One of his films onlyMumtaz worked with Amitabh Bachchan in the 1973 film ‘Band Hatal’ directed by OP Goyal. This was the only time when the two actors appeared on the screen together. Although the film is not widely remembered today, it holds a special place for Mumtaz as it gave him the opportunity to work with someone he praised.The ‘Brahmachari’ actress said, “She was very rich, famous and educated. She wanted to work; I said yes, and we made that film. I was very happy to work with her; she is a very good person. She is a certain class.Year Big B increased for fameInterestingly, ‘Band Haha’ came out in the same year as Amitabh Bachchan’s Big Break- ‘Zanjier’. The film made him a star overnight and got the title of ‘Angry Young Man’. Since then, he went to give back-to-back hits like ‘Sholay’ (1975), ‘Devire’ (1975), ‘Amar Akbar Anthony’ (1977), and ‘Don’ (1978). While the ‘bandh haha’ did not reach the same level of fame, it remains a unique moment where Mutz and Amitabh Bachchan came together first and only for time.
