As India’s living treasure, a presence that has lit up single screens, living rooms and hearts for five decades, turns 75, the tribute had to be fitting. The creative is a powerful salute to a cultural icon whose influence cuts across languages, regions and generations. It’s not only a hat tip to his unmatched stardom but also to generations of fans who have grown up whistling at his entries, copying his style and finding courage in his larger-than-life onscreen avatars.
