Actor Kiran Kumar on working with Amitabh Bachchan, 'Its like working with a virus...'
In the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood, many actors come and go every day. But there are only a few rare gems whose spark remains untouched, and nobody can come close to their legacy. One such example of this is an actor who is known as the Shahenshah of Bollywood. From his towering figure, discipline, humility, and magnetic charisma, nobody could come close to the magic and influence he has both on and off screen.
Yes, we are talking about the legendary superstar, Amitabh Bachchan. Also famously known by the name 'Big B'. Over the years, many stars have worked with him and reflected on the moments they shared with Amitabh. Recently, in a podcast, Kiran Kumar opened up about the unique experience of acting with Bachchan. He shared his unforgettable experience of working alongside Big B in the 1992 film Khuda Gawah. What did Kiran Kumar say about working with Amitabh Bachchan?
He reveals the undeniable impact Big B has on his co-star: 'Working with Amitabh Bachchan 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 the way he treats you.'
Besides appreciating Amitabh for his sheer talent, Kiran Kumar also spoke about Amitabh's sharp presence of mind and off-screen personality. 'Some actors won't give a reaction if a villain is beating them in films, but not Amitabh Bachchan. Amit Ji would give a reaction at every punch that I 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 I have learnt about Amit Ji is that you talk to him only when he wants to talk to you,' he said. Actor Kanwaljit Singh on working with Big B
Previously, actor Kanwaljit Singh also shared his memories of working with Big B during the filming of Satte Pe Satta. He revealed he used to feel very nervous around Amitabh's presence. Satte Pe Satta 'Main bada ghabrata tha inse, 'Satte Pe Satta' ke time pe (I used to be very nervous around him during Satte Pe Satta). 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. I was so nervous that whenever I took a good shot, I would look at him and say, 'Sorry.' Seeing this, he would say, 'Why, man? That was a good shot.' So I said, 'Alright.' Later, when my son, who is a painter, had an exhibition, I went to him. He especially told his secretary, 'Find a date for Kuku… I want to go.' And he came for the opening. Yeah, that's very sweet of him.' Kanwaljit once revealed.
Even after years of being in the industry, Amitabh Bachchan still has the same mark on people, not just as an impeccable actor, but also as a person.
