Overview
- Amitabh Bachchan said in a 2016 conversation that his star power waned in the mid‑1990s as audiences stopped reacting to him as they once did.
- He contrasted frenzied New York shows during Laawaris and Muqaddar Ka Sikandar with a later, low‑key theatre arrival while promoting a film with Govinda and Raveena Tandon.
- He recalled a Hum shoot when a young fan redirected an autograph request to Govinda, illustrating the younger actor’s stronger pull with kids.
- He acknowledged that his ‘angry young man’ persona had faded and a brief political stint complicated his career, prompting a temporary step back from films.
- He later paired with Govinda in David Dhawan’s Bade Miyan Chote Miyan (1998), which the reports describe as a blockbuster during his comeback attempt.
