When Ajitabh introduced Amitabh Bachchan to Bollywood What’s even more surprising is that it was Ajitabh Bachchan who actually introduced Amitabh to the world of Bollywood. According to media reports both brothers studied at the same school and college and later moved to Kolkata where they worked together. Despite this Amitabh always had a desire to pursue acting. It was Ajitabh who took the initiative to send Amitabh’s photographs to film producers. Initially Amitabh’s photos were rejected but eventually one of his pictures was selected. This led to Amitabh getting his first film offer and marking the beginning of his successful film career. While Amitabh had always dreamed of becoming a hero it was his brother Ajitabh who made it possible.
