About this ebook
Even forty years after it was made, Amar Akbar Anthony remains the final word in film entertainment, which many film-makers aspire to, but seldom manage to replicate. Well-known journalist and author Sidharth Bhatia goes behind the scenes of one of the most loved Hindi films of all time to unravel the story of its making and what it means to Indian cinema. Talking to various people associated with the film - cameraman Peter Pereira, scriptwriter Kader Khan, composer Pyarelal and stars Rishi Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan - who fondly remember how Manmohan Desai created this magical movie, he has written a book as entertaining as the film itself, a tribute both to the iconic film and to the incredible vision of its maker.
