Big B recalls “Sholay” days on KBC 14!

Contestant #DipeshJain of #Bhopal becomes an eager listener as Mr #AmitabhBachchan recounts the olden days of shooting for ‘#Sholay’ on Sony Tv’s ‘#KaunBanegaCrorepati-Season14’.

On Sony Tv’s ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati- Season 14’ Dipesh Jain from Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh will be showcasing brilliant gameplay and winning 12 lac and 50 thousand. The thrilling game would be preceded by many amazing conversations, one of which would also entail Mr Amitabh Bachchan’s stories of how the iconic film ‘Sholay’ was filmed.

Mr Bachchan would be enthraling the audience by telling them stories from the sets of ‘Sholay’, how Ramesh Sippy, the director of the film had chosen a flower valley instead of a more desert-like location for a film that was “dacoit-inspired” by the concept. He would also talk about how Dharmendra Ji would often share a car and play Rumi going to and fro the hotel, with Dharmendra Ji also sometimes choosing to stay back at the village and sleep there when there was an early morning shoot call. Big B would also talk about getting foreign stunt directors for the first time to help with the stunts.

Concluding the tales of Sholay, a source close to the set said that Mr Bachchan spoke about why he limps still, “In the earlier days people did not know about these safety precautions and they, the actors, including Mr Bachchan would get injured almost every time they would be shooting. Their knees and their back would all be scraped up. He said that he still limps because of his injuries in past. They don’t get hurt now because of the new safety precautions as contractually, the producer makes sure that any dangerous stunts are not performed by the actors. He went on to say there still are many actors who do their stunts. Many times, they are told not to but they do not listen. He gave the example of Akshay Kumar and how he is a passionate actor, he will jump from one building to the other or light himself on fire, and Big B would ask him, “what are you doing? and why? but Akshay Ji would say “no no sir, don’t worry”. He did his stunts during ‘Waqt’, which he filmed with Amitabh sir.”

Tune in to watch Vikram Khurrana, the brilliant rollover contestant on 18th October on ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati- Season 14’ at 9 pm on Sony Entertainment Television.
