After completing work in 'Alladin' and 'Shoebite', Big B, as Bachchan is popularly called, is currently shooting for 'Teen Patti', a flick directed by Leena Yadav.

Eager to catch a glimpse of their matinee idol, hordes of fans from all over the country stationed themselves outside his bungalow 'Jalsa' in suburban Mumbai while the television media was also present in the area for sound bite and stories.

Over the years on his birthday, the Bollywood legend has been coming out of his house to greet the fans. This year has been an eventful one for the Big B. He had releases like 'Sarkar Raj', 'God Tussi Great Ho', 'Bhootnath' and 'The Last Lear'.

Besides, 'The Unforgettable Tour' was his biggest world concert in several years in which he was accompanied by his son Abhishek and daughter-in-law Aishwarya. The tour, spanning over a month, covered the US and Europe.

But, the highlight was that the Big B turned blogger. His blog has been the most visited and read with keen interest by the media and fans.

Controversies and criticism had their fair share in Bachchan's life. He was accused of illegally acquiring agro land in Barabanki, Uttar Pradesh, by claiming to be a farmer. He, however, later got a clean chit from the Allahabad High Court. Bachchan was also embroiled in another land row in Maharashtra.
