It was in 1969 that Amitabh Bachchan made his big screen debut with Saat Hindustani, and four decades later, he is still busy entertaining the audience with his performances. At 76, Big B has just added another feather to his already-bejewelled cap: Amitabh Bachchan has been selected for the Dada Saheb Phalke award for the year 2018 for his contribution to the Indian film industry.
Union Minister of Information & Broadcasting Prakash Javadekar took to Twitter to make the big announcement.
The legend Amitabh Bachchan who entertained and inspired for 2 generations has been selected unanimously for #DadaSahabPhalke award. The entire country and international community is happy. My heartiest Congratulations to him.

The announcement was delayed this year on account of the Lok Sabha elections 2019. The National Film Awards announcements this year too were postponed by a few months.
Amitabh Bachchan, who is unstoppable at 76, is busy with innumerable projects. If he is playing a khadoos landlord in Gulabo Sitabo with Ayushmann Khurrana, he is also part of an adventure fantasy drama called Brahmastra along with Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt.
Bachchan, whose body of work is unparalleled in Hindi cinema, has been honoured with four National Film Awards, for the films Agneepath, Black, Paa and Piku. He also received the Padma Shri in 1984, the Padma Bhushan in 2001 and the Padma Vibhushan in 2015.
