Recently his co-star actor Raja Bundela shared fascinating anecdotes and spoke about Bachchan’s dedication punctuality and his strict balance between work and personal life. Amitabh Bachchans attention to details In a recent podcast Raja Bundela spoke about Bachchan’s sharp memory and preparation. He said “It has been a pleasure working with Amitabh Bachchan. I did a film with him and he remembered all the dialogue so well.” Further speaking about his attention to detail he said “I don’t know if he does it now but back then any film that Amitabh worked in whenever the shoot was wrapping up he took the continuity stuff along with him until the next schedule. He wouldn’t leave it with the production” Raja shared. When Amitabhs continuity shoes were left behind Raja further recalled a shoot in Goa when Amitabh Bachchans shoes were left behind. He revealed “Once we were shooting in Goa Amitji found out that his continuity shoes were left behind in Mumbai.” He added Flights were not so frequent in those days; there was lots of commotion.” He shared that many people on the set thought that the shoot would be cancelled. However much to their surprise Amitabh Bachchan was all set to roll the next day. He said “The next morning at 7:30 we learned that he was ready with his makeup and shoes but nobody was ready to even go close to him the director the producer no one. He was sitting and reading the newspaper; that’s discipline.” Later they discovered how Bachchan had solved the issue overnight. “Later we found out that at night he sent his spotboy from a bus who took the shoes and returned from the first flight the next day. He called director Tinnu Anand and asked him to start shooting. This was the kind of discipline he had” Raja added. Why were the shoes so important? Raja further explained why the shoes were crucial for continuity. “The scene was where Amitabh was walking on the road and suddenly he saw an apple. His character had been hungry for two days so he picks it up looks here and there and then eats it. So when he bends it was obvious that the shoes would be seen and there had to be continuity.” Amitabh Bachchan on work-life balance Raja also spoke about Bachchans strict professional boundaries. He said “He was always prepared with his dialogues and would do everything on time. He would never gossip even when we met at his home.” He added “From what I have heard he would not allow anyone from the industry at his home after 8 pm; he locks his doors. He likes to keep that balance between his business and his family.” Amitabh Bachchans Work Speaking of his work Amitabh Bachchan was most recently seen hosting Kaun Banega Crorepati.
