The man resembling Bachchan was captured wearing a soiled turban that covered one eye and sporting a white beard and a pair of round shaped-spectacles.
McCurry published the portrait on Monday as he
highlighted the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan.
Sharing the photo he took in Pakistan years ago, McCurry wrote, "This portrait of Shabuz, an Afghan refugee living in Pakistan, reminds us of the millions of displaced peoples around the world."
McCurry stressed the "unprecedented humanitarian crises" ravaging the globe that has resulted in the "largest number of refugees in history."
However, netizens could not hide their curiosity, and one of the fans commented: "Why does he look like Amitabh Bachchan with makeup on."
Another follower commented, "Looks so much like the Indian (Bollywood) superstar Amitabh Bachchan."
"Big B's doppelganger," another fan wrote.
The photograph so far has received more than 80,000 likes.
