Amitabh Bachchan in Mohabbatein and Black
Amitabh Bachchan brought with him discipline and came across as a very strict principal named Narayan Shankar in Mohabbatein. The very mention of his name caused panic amongst the students. The character of a stern and strict principal as he crumbles under the harsh truth of life and reality is beautifully emoted by the sexagenarian.
Taking his creativity to a new level, In Black, Bachchan plays Debraj Sahai, an elderly alcoholic teacher for the deaf and blind. He sees himself as a magician and is a disillusioned eccentric man. He casts a magic spell to bring young Michelle (Rani Mukherjee) into the light with utter ease.

Nasseruddin Shah in Iqbal-
Nasseruddin Shah played the local drunkard, Mohit, who was once a great cricketer and becomes the cricket coach of Iqbal (Shreyas Talpade). They are able to train in a nearby field, using Iqbal's buffaloes (named after actual members of the Indian cricket team) as fielders.
Mohit does the impossible job of training Iqbal who is deaf and mute boy and gets him a place on the Andhra Pradesh Ranji Trophy team, despite Iqbal not having any previous cricketing experience. Nasseruddin gave an extra ordinary performance with an ordinary character which he was playing and was much appreciated.
