Veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan completes 50 years in the film industry, and his fans and well wishers have been showering love on the megastar. On this day in 1969, he signed his first Bollywood film, Saat Hindustani.

His son Abhishek Bachchan took to Instagram to post a heartfelt message for his father. He posted a picture of himself in a sweatshirt, sporting Big B's look from his earlier days and the words 'ICON' written on it. “50 years today he started his journey in films. Even today, his passion and love for his craft and work is the same as I’m sure it was on the first day,” Abhishek wrote in the post.

The 76-year-old actor is set to feature in two films this year—Brahmastra and Badla.
