As Amitabh Bachchan turns 80 tomorrow , a retrospective of the Bollywood superstar's early films and an exhibition of rare pictures are being shown in India to mark the occasion.

A first-of-its kind festival of Bachchan's landmark early films, organised by the non-profit Film Heritage Foundation, will be held over four days at 22 cinemas in 17 cities across India.

Led by Shivendra Singh Dungarpur, an award-winning filmmaker, archivist and restorer, the non-profit has been at the forefront of efforts to preserve 60 of Bachchan's films in a temperature-controlled archive in the city of Mumbai.

An exhibition of some 50 photographs, mainly sourced from the collection of SMM Ausaja, a film historian, author and memorabilia archivist, will accompany the screenings.
