128 Notes. 98 Legends. One Frame.
A curated collection of 128 ₹10 notes, each serial number marking the birth or passing of Bollywood's most iconic actors — from the Golden Age to the modern era.
"From the black-and-white elegance of Dilip Kumar to the global charisma of Shah Rukh Khan — 98 actors, 128 moments, immortalized in the currency of the nation that worships them."
The Famous Actors of Bollywood Theme File is UNC Museum's tribute to Indian cinema's greatest performers. Each ₹10 note in this collection carries a serial number that corresponds to a significant date in an actor's life — their birth, or their final curtain call.
This is not just a collector's item. It is a walk of fame in paper and ink — 98 names that defined generations, 128 dates that shaped cultural memory, all preserved in authentic Reserve Bank of India currency.
From the tragedy king Dilip Kumar to the angry young man Amitabh Bachchan, from the perfectionist Aamir Khan to Bhaijaan Salman Khan — this collection spans nearly a century of Indian cinema.
"And 92 more actors... from Prithviraj Kapoor to Ranveer Singh, from Ashok Kumar to Vicky Kaushal — the complete constellation of Bollywood stardom."
These megastars represent the pinnacle of Indian cinema — each with a legacy that transcends generations.
