In a recent interview, Abhishek Bachchan shared insights into the challenges his father, Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan, faced while shooting two iconic films simultaneously—Sholay during the day and Deewaar at night. This extraordinary feat occurred in different cities, showcasing the dedication of the legendary actor.
The Changing Landscape of Bollywood
Abhishek Bachchan also highlighted the evolution of the film industry over the past two decades. He expressed envy for the preparation time his nephew, Agastya Nanda, had before shooting his debut film, “The Archies.” Abhishek reminisced about his own early days when he would simply show up on set and follow the director’s instructions. However, he emphasized that the challenges were even more demanding during his father’s era.
Anecdotes of Bollywood’s Golden Era
During the Galatta Plus Hindi actors roundtable, Abhishek shared a story his father once told him about managing multiple shoots simultaneously. Additionally, he mentioned the record set by Shashi Kapoor, who juggled a staggering 11 projects at one point. This led to subsequent rules restricting the number of films an actor could take on simultaneously.
Amitabh Bachchan’s ability to pull off such a demanding schedule, including taking adrenaline shots to stay conscious, stands as a testament to his commitment and passion for his craft during Bollywood’s golden era.
