Bachchan, 72, unveiled the 120x150 foot mural of Phalke on the sidelines of St+art Mumbai Festival.
"Inaugurated a mural 150'x120' of Dada Saheb Phalke, the founder of film in India, 1913, on the MTNL building at Bandra... Inspiring," Bachchan posted on Twitter.
Phalke was an Indian producer-director-screenwriter, who made 'Raja Harishchandra' (1913), known as India's first full-length feature. He made 95 movies and 26 short films in his 19-year-old career.
"I'm delighted that of the many such projects there is one dedicated to Dadasaheb Phalke - The father of Indian Cinema. I salute the artist Ranjit Dahiya and the entire St+art team," said Piyush Pandey, executive chairman and creative director for Ogilvy & Mather India and South Asia.
