A busy street in Dubai turned into a spectacle after a man resembling Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan was spotted by locals and tourists. In a viral video, the lookalike can be seen moving slowly through the crowd as fans swarmed around him, taking pictures and rushing for selfies, seemingly convinced they were meeting the real Big B.
The clip was originally shared by Ahmad Mahmood on Instagram and later reposted by Lovin Dubai, where it quickly racked up over 114,000 views. Captioned “Huge Amitabh Bachchan fans in Dubai came to see his lookalike,” the video sparked a flood of reactions online, ranging from excitement to humour and even criticism.
While many joked about the scene, comments poured in with witty takes. One user wrote, “Big B from Alibaba,” while another quipped, “Only the Noon driver got a selfie.” Some compared the incident to ordering Amitabh from a discount store, while others simply laughed at the crowd’s enthusiasm.
Not everyone was amused, though. A section of viewers dismissed the resemblance, with one bluntly saying, “He does not look one percent of him,” questioning how people had so much free time. Another comment read, “Some people have all the time in the world and they utilise that time in moments like these.” The viral moment continues to draw mixed responses, proving yet again how easily celebrity lookalikes can spark frenzy.
