Meet actor, who was thrown out of a film after 16 flops, then one movie changed his life, became superstar, his net worth is Rs 1,600 crore; He is...
Amitabh Bachchan's ascent to superstardom rarely happened. After being dropped from Duniya Ka Mela and watching 16 films fail at the box office, the industry had counted him out. But, as Raza Murad notes, 'When the luck was in his favour, everything fell in place.' A lost opportunity for legends Before Zanjeer, Prakash Mehra offered the film to titans like Dilip Kumar, Dharmendra, Dev Anand, and Rajkumar—all declined. The movie's heavy focus on one man scared them away. It took a recommendation from Jaya Bachchan (then Bhaduri) for Prakash Mehra to finally take a chance on Amitabh—and history was made. In his chat with The Filmy Charcha, Murad remained adamant: 'You need 90% luck to succeed in the industry.' The right script meets the right actor—it's rarely just hard work that gets the throne. Zanjeer's enduring legacy For those of you who don't know, Zanjeer was more than a career revival—it was a cultural shift. It introduced a gritty Vijay, an honest cop driven by his past. It also elevated the Salim-Javed duo into legend and cemented Pran's charismatic Sher Khan, especially with unforgettable lines like 'Yeh police station hai, tumhare baap ka ghar nahin.' Salim-Javed's writing paired with Mehra's direction created a masterpiece. A hero forged from desperation, Vijay's journey from haunted soul to righteous crusader resonated deeply. Sher Khan's legacy—in his Pathani attire and principled presence—left a permanent mark on popular culture. Zanjeer wasn't just Amitabh's resurgence—it was the moment Bollywood transformed. A showcase of how fate can pivot entire careers, this film still stands as proof that sometimes, success is born from surviving and seizing rare opportunities. Amitabh Bachchan's net worth According to several media reports, today, his estimated net worth stands at a staggering Rs 1,600 crore (USD 190 million approx), making him one of India's wealthiest film icons.

Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck Take Beverly Hills Mansion Off Market. But Why?
Last Updated: The Beverly Hills estate was first listed for sale in June last year, weeks before Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's divorce filing in August. Months after finalizing the divorce in the beginning of this year, ex couple Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck made a joint financial decision when they took their USD 68 million Beverly Hills mansion off the market. Despite ending their marriage, the former couple decided to remove the mansion from the market list after it failed to attract any buyers. The mansion, bought in May 2023, was put up for sale in June 2024. The Beverly Hills estate was first listed last year in June, only a few weeks Lopez's divorce filing from Affleck in August. PEOPLE reported that the singer and the Argo actor were keen to sell the 12-bedroom, 24-bathroom property but after unsuccessful attempts, they took a joint decision to remove it from the market. A source also told the portal, 'While they've been hoping to sell the property, they've also been hesitant to take a big loss." It added, 'They lowered the price to get more interest and when this didn't happen, they were advised to take it off the market. It was a business decision that they made together." The unsuccessful attempts to sell Beverly Hills mansion involving Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck can be credited to the ongoing tough sellers' market. Before taking the mansion off the market, the former couple had dropped the selling price by USD 8.5 million, taking the price from USD 68 million to USD 59.5 million. A real estate source shared with PEOPLE, 'Taking it off the market until it's more of a seller-friendly climate seems like the smartest decision." Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck bought the huge 38,000-square-foot home in May 2023. Worth USD 60.8 million, the estate comes with a 12-car garage, a 5,000-square-foot guest penthouse, a two-bedroom guardhouse, and a caretaker house. There are also some other luxury amenities, including a sports lounge, bar and a full gym. After months of quiet separation, the duo finalised their divorce in January 2025. Post parting ways from each other, Lopez and Ben Affleck moved into new separate homes. While Lopez got herself a property worth USD 18 million in Los Angeles, Affleck purchased a USD 20.5 million mansion in the Pacific Palisades last July in order to stay near his children—Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 12.
