Awesome twosome - Amitabh Bachchan & Super Star Rajesh Khanna

In Bollywood, everything's transient. Even superstardom. Enter Amitabh Bachchan's rising popularity as the 'angry young man' on the prowl changed the dynamics of filmmaking. Viewers related to Big B's fury much more than Khanna's flirtatious overtures. Babumoshai, as Khanna had affectionately nick-named him in Anand was not just another competition as everyone later discovered. The two heavy-weights worked again on Hrishikesh Mukherjee's Namak Haraam. The critically-lauded drama fetched AB a Filmfare trophy for Best Supporting Actor while Khanna went back to romancing Mumtaz and Hema Malini in musical money-spinners like Aap Ki Kasam and Prem Nagar.
