Imagine being starstruck and instinctively going to touch Amitabh Bachchan’s feet, only to be stopped by the legend himself! That’s exactly what happened to actor Abhishek Banerjee on the set of ‘Section 84’. Banerjee later learned that Bachchan actively discourages this traditional gesture to avoid creating a power dynamic, preferring to treat everyone as equals. Banerjee lauded Bachchan’s humility, calling him the most professional actor he has ever worked with.
The Senior Bachchan’s refusal stems from his belief that placing him on a pedestal could hinder a co-actor’s performance. He prefers to be seen as a colleague rather than an elder figure, ensuring everyone can perform without feeling overshadowed. This approach reflects a broader rejection of hierarchical traditions in favour of mutual respect and professional parity on set.
