“Grief will never leave us but it’s time to be positive,” wrote Amitabh Bachchan.
On World Laughter Day, Amitabh Bachchan shared a funny clip from his 1977 movie Amar Akbar Anthony.
As the sad demise of Irrfan Khan and Rishi Kapoor has moved everyone into shattered pieces, the superstar Amitabh Bachchan too is heartbroken. Yet, he tried to bring a curve of smile on people’s face by sharing a video of a comic scene from his movie.
He wrote, “Van Gogh’s final words were: this sadness will last forever. La tristesse durera toujours..’ mailed to me by dear friend Siddharth across the street…grief will never leave us, but time to be positive…time to bring the smile back…time for the adage ‘the show must go on’,” he wrote.
He added, “Scene shot for Amar Akbar Anthony at RK Studios floor 3, Man Mohan Desai director… we were shooting two films simultaneously, PARVARISH and AAA, both in RK Studios… first on floor 1, a climax action with Vinod, Amjad and me, and this scene with me on floor 3… Man ji said to me, you rehearse this mirror scene ‘main zara us floor pe shot lekar aata hoon’… but when he came back I had already done the scene and shot it with the ASST. a basic idea given by Kader Bhai..rest is all impromptu, ad lib, one take.”
Here, Amitabh is talking about the mirror scene where is talking to himself after drinking alcohol.
He also shared, “When Man ji came back to this set he was surprised that his asst., Anil Nagrath and I had done it.. he commented a aye, barabar kiya hai na scene.. thok to nahi diya..!! Man ji finally saw the scene a month later- it used to take time to process develop the print in those times.. he saw it at the mini trial theatre at Ranjit Studios, where were shooting the climax of AAA.. after seeing it we sat on the steps of the Office in the Studio and he said to me.. ‘Lalla! You are going to work in every film of mine that I make, until you say NO’!!! Those were the days.”
By posting this scene, Big B has brought back the memories of the legendary actors and his dear friends, Rishi ji and Vinod ji who were with him in this iconic movie, Amar Akbar Anthony.
