  3. Purnima has got it absolutely correct..

    The connect is Shrivastava.

    Amitabh Bachchan's father Harivansh Rai was the eldest son of Pratap Narayan Shrivastava and Saraswati Devi. He was called 'Bachchan' (meaning 'child-like') at home.
    He adopted the pen-name 'Bachchan', under which he published all his works. It is with this last name that his son Amitabh debuted in films, and, for all public purposes, it has become the surname of all members of his family.

    Here's the connect :

    B) Inquilaab (1984)
    Directed by : T. Rama Rao
    Produced by : N. Veeraswamy

    Amitabh Bachchan was initially named Inquilaab, inspired from the famous phrase 'Inquilaab Zindabad', but he was re-named Amitabh on poet Sumitra Nandan Pant's suggestion.
    'Amitabh' comes from Amit and Abha, and means, "the light that would never go off".

  5. Kamal Hassan was the original hero of the film Inquillaab and Amitabhji was to play a cameo role, but this cameo was extended making Amitabhji the hero too. Rajinikanth played a role in this film,making it probably the only film where Kamal, Amitabhji and Rajini acted. Hwever they dont have any scenes together
