Amol Palekar gained appreciation in Hindi films in the 1970s with films like Gol Maal and Chhoti Si Baat, also recalled that the south Indian film industries were far more professional than the Hindi film industry even back in the 1970s. Even he used to reach much before the shoot time.
Amol recalled that he was once shooting in the same studio as Amitabh Bachchan and Rajinikanth, and noticed that while Bachchan would always show up on time, Rajinikanth would come much before he was required. “Amitabh always used to be on time and Rajinikanth would arrive even earlier, ready with make up. He would come and sit there with the spot boys, light boys.
He would sit with them on the bench and talk with them, have tea with them.
And at the given time, if the shift is at 9, he would go up to the director at 9 and say,
‘Yes sir, I am ready’.
