Others
Amar Akbar Anthony was the beginning of a long collaboration between Manmohan Desais and Amitabh Bachchan .
Main actor Bachchan speaks here in a dialect known colloquially as Bombay Hindi - a dialect and body language that is usually associated with the city's ragged proletariat. The action scenes in the film seem more mechanical.
There is also a Bollywood film called My Name Is Anthony Gonzalves that was inspired by one of the songs. The main roles are played by Mithun Chakraborty , Amrita Rao and Nikhil Dwivedi .

The action sequences are shot rather perfunctorily. )
