Ranjeet
Veteran actor and co-star of Amitabh Bachchan
“We started shooting and he went to his makeup room after a while. Then, we got the news that the shoot has been packed up for the day. He actually said that he will memorise this properly and do it tomorrow. He came the next day and the first shot was okay, there was no cut. This is the kind of work that used to happen.”

“Every actor used to get involved in the scene during that time, they were obsessed. Shooting happened on the first day and if you have seen the film, I was wearing a wig in that scene. But, when the second shot was completed, there’s no wig, I only wore it while entering.”
