With more than a
150 films in his kitty,
Amitabh Bachchan is a man of
many faces. As he getting ready to hit the big screen with yet another new look for his upcoming film Paa, he feels that freedom from playing the leading man has given him the leisure and choice to experiment with his looks and roles. Here we present the personae that he has adopted over the years.
1. The 67-year-old actor plays Auro
in Paa, a 13-year-old child suffering from progeria, which accelerates ageing.

Taalismaan is a fantasy fable. Big B plays a great warrior in the film that promises the best special effects Bollywood has ever seen
.

Teen Patti, which has Bachchan playing Venkat, a Mathematics professor.
4. Bachchan has also done the role of 'genie' in film
Aladin and a ghost in
Bhootnath.

Jhoom Barabar Jhoom. The look was apparently inspired by Johnny Depp's persona in Pirates of the Caribbean.
6. One of his recent films,
Sarkar (2005) and its sequel
Sarkar Raj (2008) portrayed Amitabh Bachchan as a man of magnetism, aptitude and power to control.
