When one sees his reels made on Big B's iconic songs and dialogues, it is really hard to tell them apart and know for certain who's who.
“I honestly thought it was Amitabh Bachchan,” commented one social media user and another joined in by saying, “You look more like BIG B than BIG B himself” (sic).
Pedwal also shared a pic from the time he actually met Big B during a shoot.
Pedwal is a teacher by profession who has been performing stage shows as Bachchan for more than a decade now. However, using his mimicry skills to do good, he has often earned plaudits online for visiting cancer patients as Bachchan to spread joy.
During the coronavirus pandemic, Pedwal hit headlines for virtually entertaining Covid-19 patients during stressful times.
