Amitabh Bachchan? No, the man in this photo is not him!

Yesterday, this snapshot, said to be one of Amitabh Bachchan's looks in Thugs Of Hindostan, went viral. While Big B's fans went into a tizzy sharing the photo on social media, it came to light that it is the portrait of an Afghan refugee. The photo was clicked by renowned American photographer, Steve McCurry, who had shared the image on Instagram on January 27, 2017. The striking similarity of the image to Bachchan seems to have misled the fans.
