The veteran actor Dilip Kumar wrote for Amitabh Bachchan, “In recent times, I can remember Black and, if I remember right, Saira and I were at a loss for words at the premiere night, after the curtain came down, to express our myriad feelings of admiration for your outstanding performance. It is a pity the film missed the Oscar nomination. If any Indian actor, in my personal opinion, deserves the world’s most coveted award, it is you.”

Amitabh Bachchan shared the screen with Dilip Kumar in Ramesh Sippy’s film Shakti, in which Dilip Kumar played the role of a cop. On the work front, Amitabh Bachchan is shooting for Ayan Mukerji’s Brahmastra with Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt.
