Jaya Bachchan reframed husband Amitabh Bachchan's career with this one film

Jaya Bachchan has always been one of those actresses in the industry who has been a part of blockbuster movies. However, what none could imagine was Jaya Bachchan writing a superhit film.

We are discussing the movie Shahenshah. This film not only brought Amitabh Bachchan back to Bollywood but also crowned him "Shahenshah" once again. By the mid-1980s, Amitabh Bachchan had entered politics and had taken a break from films.

What is the plot of Shahenshah?

Released in 1988, Shahenshah is a famous Bollywood action-crime film featuring Amitabh Bachchan in the lead. Big B's character, Vijay Kumar Srivastava, lives a double life - a timid, corrupt cop by day and a fearless, armoured vigilante known as "Shahenshah" by night.

He is driven by a quest for revenge against J.K. Verma (Amrish Puri), the corrupt kingpin who framed his honest father and pushed him to suicide.

What was the budget of Shahenshah?

According to reports, Shahenshah was made on a budget of ₹2 crore. The movie turned out to be such a huge hit that it minted Rs12 crore gross.

Shahenshah became the second highest-grossing film of 1988, rivaling films like Tezaab and Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. The film's iconic dialogue, "Rishte mein toh hum tumhare baap lagte hain, naam hai Shahenshah," remains popular even today.

This film marked Amitabh Bachchan's comeback. After returning from politics, he once again dominated the big screen, and audiences embraced him once again as the "Angry Young Man" and "Shahenshah."
