...When Bachchan first faded from view, it marked the end of a remarkable run of hits, starting with his first lead role as a cop fighting corruption in 1973's Zanjeer. The biryani western Sholay ran for six years in Bombay on its release in 1975. In 1983, when Bachchan was injured on the set of Coolie and fell into a coma, India ground to a halt.

"I was just trying to create some entertainment," he says, adding that his act will probably tone down in the future because "people mature" and "I have a lot more to lose." In another context he admits to a contradiction truly worthy of him: in his attempt to shatter the rapper stereotype, he's sometimes willing to behave stereotypically. "Take the word nigga," West says. "I don't like the word, and I made an attempt to change it on this new song Crack Music"--an indictment of drug abuse. "I tried...
