Other words and epithets that capture the essence of Amitabh Bachchan is
One-Man Industry – a term coined by French director François Truffaut to describe his absolute dominance in the 1970s and 80s.

It curates it. Decisions are deliberate. Even inheritance. Amitabh and Jaya made it clear long ago, both children get equal share. No “beta gets more” nonsense here.
