Shamitabh is a 2015 Bollywood drama film directed by R. Balki, starring Amitabh Bachchan, Dhanush, and Akshara Haasan. The film presents a unique and emotional story about two individuals who come together to create one superstar.
The story follows Danish (Dhanush), a talented young man from a small town who dreams of becoming a famous actor. However, he has one major problem — he is mute. Despite having exceptional acting skills, he is rejected from the film industry because he cannot speak.
His life changes when he meets Akshara (Akshara Haasan), a film assistant who believes in his talent. She introduces him to a new medical technology that allows a voice to be given to a speech-impaired person through a special device implanted in the body. Now Danish can act — but he needs someone else to speak for him.
That voice comes from Amitabh Sinha (Amitabh Bachchan), an older, failed actor with a deep, powerful voice but a career destroyed by alcohol and arrogance. Together, Danish’s acting and Amitabh’s voice create a new superstar known as “Shamitabh” — a combination of their names.
However, as fame grows, ego and pride begin to take over. Danish feels the success is because of his acting, while Amitabh believes it is his voice that makes the character special. Their partnership begins to fall apart, showing how ego can destroy even the greatest achievements.
Shamitabh is a film about ambition, identity, teamwork, and the importance of acknowledging others’ contributions. It highlights how success is rarely the result of one person alone, and how jealousy and ego can break even the most powerful bond.
