In a viral video, legendary Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan can be seen driving around in a Mahindra Thar. It’s the first time that Big B has been snapped driving the Thar, which is quite popular in the country. The SUV’s imposing proportions look quite apt for the actor’s tall frame. 

The versatile Bollywood actor’s Thar is black in colour and gets a plastic hard top roof. The SUV can also be opted in a soft top convertible roof option. The Thar is available in AX and LX trims, the latter being the one spotted. It features a 7-inch touchscreen system, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, cruise control, steering-mounted controls, dual front airbags, and hill descent control. 

Mahindra offers the off-roading SUV with the choice of 2-litre turbo-petrol and 2.2-litre diesel engines, both with manual and automatic transmissions. Buyers are allowed to choose between rear-wheel drive and 4X4, the former being more affordable. The rear-wheel-drive Thar gets the same petrol engine but a smaller 1.5-litre diesel unit.
