Rajinikanth said.. 'Amitabh Bachchan suffered huge financial losses as a film producer. At one point he was unable to even pay his watchman. With this, he did not understand what to do. At that time, he put up for auction his favorite Juhu house. Then the whole of Bollywood laughed at him. Even though he fell, he got back on his feet in exactly three years.

And Amitabh worked hard after that by doing every ad that came his way from Kaun Banega Crorepati. He worked very hard for that. Even at the age of 82, he worked for more than 10 hours a day. He showed that wherever he fell, he was the same again. He bought back three more houses along with his house in Juhu.' Rajini said.

Amitabh ji's father Harivansh Rai Bachchan was a great writer. When he was in trouble, he could ask anyone for help by mentioning his father's name. But, he did not do such a thing. Even in difficult times, he stood on his own feet. Rajinikanth said that Amitabh is an inspiration to everyone.
