The Bachchans are the biggest camp in Bollywood

After Abhishek Bachchan ’s marriage to Aishwarya Rai , the Bachchans have become the biggest camp in Bollywood.

Just two years back, when Abhishek’s acting career was in tatters, and Jaya Bachchan was not doing films, it was only Amitabh Bachchan who was still going strong in his early sixties.

And then fortune swung in Abhishek’s favour after the release of Dhoom and Yuva . While the former brought him box-office success, the latter showcased his acting talent.

Today Abhishek has a string of successful movies under his belt and was even voted Asia’s Sexiest Man by a magazine last year. And with Amitabh Bachchan giving some of his best performances in the recent years, the name of the Bachchan clan has been steadily on the rise.

If there was any void, that has now been filled with the inclusion of Aishwarya Rai into the Bachchan family.

On the other hand, Jaya Bachchan is returning to films with Rituparno Ghosh’s Sunglass and Yash Raj banner’s Laaga Chunari Mein Daag .

With all the four members of the Bachchan family now active in films, the quartet make the most powerful camp in Hindi film industry.

Even Shah Rukh Khan ’s camp (comprising of Farah Khan and Karan Johar ) does not come close to the Bachchans.

The popular sentiment among trade analysts is that the market value of the Bachchans has increased after Aishwarya’s marriage to Abhishek. But it is not one-way gain. Even Ash has benefited a great deal by becoming a part of the Bachchan household.

Today, filmmakers are hoping to cash in on the unique ensemble of the Bachchans. Ram Gopal Varma has already announced his Sarkar 2 with Amitabh, Abhishek and Aishwarya.

Now, J P Dutta is also learnt to be thinking of signing the trio for his period film Aakhri Mughal .

While the Bachchan name is at an all time high, the Khans of Bollywood, on the other hand, seem to be uniting. Recently, SRK, Salman Khan and Saif Ali Khan shot together for a song for SRK’s film Om Shanti Om . The three Khans also came together for a party hosted by SRK.

But there is still no other camp in Bollywood that comes close to giving competition to the Bachchans.

The three ABs remain undisputed.
