Kiran Kumar shares his experience working with Amitabh Bachchan

Kiran Kumar, who shared screen space with him in Khuda Gawah, recalls Amitabh Bachchan a giving actor who would respond to every punch landed on him while on shoot.

Undoubtedly Amitabh Bachchan, the living legend of the entertainment industry, is acknowledged for his punctuality and professional work ethic.

For Kiran Kumar sharing screen space with the living legend is like working with a virus. He is such a great actor and his passion is so great that he gets into your bloodstream. Once you work with Amitabh Bachchan, it’s very difficult to get out of his aura, especially his treatment towards his co-star.

Some actors won’t react if a villain is beating them in films, but not Amitabh Bachchan. Amit Ji reacts at every punch that he would give him. He would get back 2 feet with every blow. He is such a wonderful actor, and he is so well informed about everything. You can discuss anything under the sun with him. But one thing that Kiran has learnt about Amit Ji is that you talk to him only when he wants to talk to you.

Earlier, Kanwaljit Singh shared memories of working with Big B in Satte Pe Satta and said, he used to be very nervous around him amidst Satte Pe Satta shoot. After the shoot, they would come to our hotel. They were staying at the Oberoi, while we were staying somewhere else. We used to play snooker. Kanwaljit was so nervous that whenever he took a good shot, he would look at Amitabh and say, ‘Sorry.’ Seeing this, he would say, ‘Why, man? That was a good shot.’ So he said, ‘Alright.’ Later, when his son, who is a painter, had an exhibition, he went to him and specially told his secretary, ‘Find a date for Kuku… he wants to go.’ And he came for the opening. Yeah, that’s very sweet of him.”
Talking about Khuda Gawah, the movie also featured Sridevi, Danny Denzongpa, Nagarjuna Akkineni and Shilpa Shirodkar among others in prominent roles.
