Amitabh Bachchan stayed hungry for 17 hours to make this iconic song, singer had 25 cups of tea, he is…, song is…
It was the year 1991 when Amitabh Bachchan brought an action crime film. Apart from Amitabh Bachchan, it had stars like Rajinikanth, Govinda, Kimi Katkar, Deepa Shahi, Shilpa Shirodkar, and Anupam Kher. Big B won the Filmfare Best Actor Award for this film, while Chini Prakash won the Best Choreographer Award for a song. This film was also the second highest-grossing film of the year 1991. Apart from the cast and story of this film, the most talked-about aspect was a song.
This song was 'Jooma Chumma De De'. This song was written by Anand Bakshi, and the music was by Laxmikant Pyarelal. This song was sung by Sudesh Bhosle and Kavita Krishnamurthy. This song was such a superhit that it created a stir in every house.
Singer of 'Jooma Chumma De De' Sudesh Bhonsle talked about the success of this song in a TV show. He said that he was able to complete this song after staying hungry for 17 hours. He was also getting nervous in front of Amitabh Bachchan. When the song 'Jooma Chumma De De' was being recorded, Big B was also coming in between. Sudesh was very nervous in such a situation. He completed this song in 17 hours. Meanwhile, he kept drinking 25 cups of tea. Sudesh also shared laughingly that later he had acidity.
There is a famous story about this song that this song was first written for Agneepath. All the preparations were also done. But then the director felt that this song would not fit the kind of character Amitabh Bachchan was playing. In such a situation, this song could not be used then. Then, instead of 'Joomma Chumma De De', he put the song Ali Baba in Agneepath in which Archana Puran Singh was seen. Take a look at the video:
After this song, actress Kimi Katkar became famous in every household. Everyone called her Jooma Girl. She is seen in the song with Amitabh Bachchan, and both of them got a lot of love.

When Hema Malini almost rejected Baghban, saying, ‘Char itne bade bade ladkon ke maa ka role kaun karega?'
Baghban is a beloved film in Indian middle-class households, known for its messaging and the powerful performances delivered by Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini. However, not many are aware that Hema initially considered turning down the film. In an old interview with Lehren Retro, the veteran actress shared the reason behind her hesitation. She recalled an incident when director Ravi Chopra came to narrate the story at her home, where her mother was also present. She said, 'I remember when I was hearing the story from Ravi Chopra, my mother was sitting. After he left, I told her, 'Char itne bade bade ladkon ke maa ka role karne ko bol raha hai… how can I do all this? (He's asking me to play the mother of four grown-up sons… how can I do all this?)' Then she turned around and said, 'No, no you must do the film.' And I asked her why. She said, 'The story is very good, you must do it.' And she was really after me. So I was like, okay, I'll do it.' The actress added, 'Because first I felt that before this, I was not doing many films, so after a long gap I was working. So I felt, why should I do this? But she said, 'You must do this, this role will be very nice.''

Few know that the role of Pooja Malhotra was initially offered to Tabu. While she appreciated the script and the character, Tabu declined the role as she was hesitant to portray the mother of four children at the age of 36. She later appeared opposite Amitabh Bachchan in R. Balki's critically acclaimed romantic comedy Cheeni Kum. Even Amitabh Bachchan wasn't the filmmakers' first choice. The role was initially offered to legendary actor Dilip Kumar, who eventually turned it down.

When Amitabh Bachchan recalled Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's endurance during Aaradhya Bachchan's birth: ‘She had to struggle…'
Few may remember, but soon after Aaradhya Bachchan's birth in November 2011, Amitabh Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan stepped out of their Mumbai residence, Jalsa, to meet the waiting media and share the joyful news. During that brief yet heartfelt interaction, Amitabh spoke about the baby's features. 'It seems to me that she looks like Aishwarya. But as you all know, children's faces change daily. I still believe she looks like Aishwarya. Some people in the family think she resembles Jaya or Abhishek a little,' he said. In that same exchange with the media, Amitabh Bachchan revealed he was taking time off from work. 'I am free now. Kaun Banega Crorepati is over and I don't have any films at the moment. So I'm free, and I will now stay at home.' Abhishek, standing beside him, added that his father would now be spending more time at home to help care for his granddaughter. One of the most emotional parts of the day came when Amitabh opened up about Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's strength during childbirth. His account offered a rare and deeply respectful glimpse into a personal moment. 'She had to struggle but I commend her that she was in acute labour for a long time, almost 2–3 hours. But she persisted and said she wanted a normal delivery. She did not use any epidural or painkiller.' Also Read | Amitabh Bachchan 'couldn't sleep for two nights' after Aishwarya Rai suffered 'terrifying' injury on Khakee sets: 'Akshay Kumar extricated her' What many are also unaware of is that Aishwarya was originally cast as the lead in Madhur Bhandarkar's much-anticipated film Heroine. Aishwarya had signed on to play the role of Mahi Arora, a complex and troubled Bollywood star. However, her pregnancy led to an abrupt change in plans. Once the news of her pregnancy reached the producers, the decision was made to replace her with Kareena Kapoor Khan. Bhandarkar later addressed the situation on his personal blog, explaining his reasons for letting go of the actress. He wrote about being caught off guard by the development, stating he was 'in a state of total shock and depression.' With 65 days of filming still left, the director said the timeline meant Aishwarya would be '6-7 months pregnant,' a reality that would alter the on-screen image of the glamorous protagonist and 'seriously jeopardise the plot.' 'The entire crisis would have taken a humongous shape had the truth not being unveiled when it was..' he wrote, reflecting on the impact her continued participation could have had on the production. At the time, the situation stirred significant debate in the industry. Speaking to the media, Amitabh Bachchan weighed in on the controversy, defending his daughter-in-law's decision. 'Everybody knew that Aishwarya was married when she signed the film. So you mean to say that actors can't get married or have children? I don't think this can be a part of any contract—that you cannot get married or have children if you are working on a project,' he had said. Ultimately, Amitabh confirmed that the matter had been resolved privately between Aishwarya and the director.

Amitabh Bachchan Has THIS to Say About Son Abhishek's Housefull 5, Releasing Tomorrow
Last Updated: Housefull 5, starring Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, and Riteish Deshmukh, releases tomorrow. Amitabh Bachchan wished for its success. Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Dekhmukh-starrer Housefull 5 hits the screens tomorrow. Ahead of the same, Amitabh Bachchan took to X (formerly Twitter) and wished for the film's 'housefull" shows. The film also stars Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Bajwa, and Nargis Fakhri as the female leads. Abhishek Bachchan starred in the promo of Housefull 5, urging fans to throng the theatres and watch his film. His father, Amitabh Bachchan, reposted the clip on X and penned a heartfelt wish for the film's team. He wrote, 'May there be intense Housefulls capacity theatres all over the World .. love." Take a look: Meanwhile, Housefull 5 is touted to be India's costliest comedy film, made on a whopping budget of Rs 225 crore. The amount is excluding poster-making charges and ads. However, looks like producer Sajid Nadiadwala will recover the costs at the earliest, going by the advance booking trends. Directed by Tarun Mansukhani, the comedy blockbuster has already amassed Rs 2.99 crore in advance ticket sales across India, with nearly 1,00,588 tickets sold for over 13,876 scheduled shows as of Wednesday evening (June 4). When block bookings are included, the film's advance business jumps to a solid Rs 7.16 crore, as per the Times of India (ToI). Apart from this, Housefull 5 will offer a groundbreaking twist in cinematic storytelling by featuring two entirely different climaxes in different theatres. Speaking about it, Sajid Nadiadwala shared, 'With Housefull 5, we wanted to take a bold creative swing that hasn't been done before internationally for any thriller film. The idea of having multiple endings, multiple experiences has been with me for 30 years. Since, i wanted to make Housefull 5 a thriller comedy, there couldn't have been a better way to execute my idea of having multiple endings than this." He added, 'It felt right to do something radical as we celebrate 75 years of Nadiadwala Grandson in the industry. Housefull is India's biggest comedy franchise and for the fifth instalment, we had to push the boundaries of what comedy can be. The idea of different endings came from a simple question: why should the audience always have just one version of the truth in a thriller? With Housefull 5, we've built a film that plays with form while staying completely rooted in entertainment. It's a killer comedy, literally, with twists that change depending on where you're watching it. and I'm proud we're doing it under the banner of Nadiadwala Grandson as we mark 75 years in the business. Our legacy has always been about embracing scale, stars, and giving audiences newer experiences and Housefull 5 takes all it to another level." He further mentioned, 'It's a natural extension of the theatrical experience: creating intrigue, rewatch value, and a sense of discovery. In a world of spoilers and algorithms, we're bringing back that element of surprise. And that's where the fun begins." Housefull 5 releases on June 6 in theatres.
