Ranchi: Megastar Amitabh Bachchan is in Ranchi or so believe the rural folks here. People are flocking to the house where he is staying, commuters stop by when he moves on roads to have a glimpse of him and TV channels are after him for interviews. But this is not Big B. It is Amit Khan, a lookalike of the superstar.
Peace Party candidate for the Hatia assembly byelection Arshad Ayukh has invited Amit Khan to campaign for him. The election is scheduled for June 12.
Amit delivers the superstar's popular dialogues like "Tumhara Naam Kya hai Basanti" from Sholey and "Abey Bbuddah Hoga Tera Baap" from Buddah Hoga Tera Baap among dozens of films in exactly the same deep voice as Big B's.
The 52-year-old, who also sports a white French-cut beard like the superstar, had taken commandos outside Big B's Juhu house Pratiksha by surprise in June 2010. As soon as Big B had left his house, Amit Khan arrived to meet him (Big B) and the incident surprised the Bachchans' guards too.
When Amit had landed at Mumbai railway station, hundreds of Big B fans flocked to him and he had a tough time convincing them. He was offered VVIP treatment when he visited a shop in Mumbai to buy some clothes.
"No one in the crowd was ready to believe that I am not the original Big B. Several fans took my autograph and got photographed with me," said Amit whose earlier name was Sajid Khan.
Father of two daughters and a son, Amit has been looking like Bachchan from his childhood. "But the resemblance has grown after my beard grew white and I started keeping French-cut," said Amit who is 6-foot tall while Big B is 6.2-foot.
Girls, too, are infatuated with him as they feel they are with Bachchan. "A young girl of the age of my daughter was madly after me in Jamshedpur. I had a difficult time convincing her," said Amit.
A native of Daltonganj, Amit is is a businessman in Jamshedpur.
During his campaign, Amit draws hundreds of people towards him. "I had seen you only in films. It is my good fortune that I am seeing you in person. You are our God," Big B fans tell him. Earlier Amit Khan has campaigned for the JMM in Jamshedpur.
Amit, who has worked on his voice and look to resemble the legendry actor, has seen almost all movies of Bachchan and is himself Big B's die-hard fan. But unfortunately, he has not been able to meet Bachchan more than once when he caught him at Allahabad in 1984. Amit Khan has visited Big B's house in Juhu thrice but to no avail.
Now films are also coming his way. "A Bhojpuri movie 'Tu Hau Hammar' will be released in June while two more are on the anvil.
