The 2019 film Badla received a lot of praise and love from the audience. Director Sujoy Ghosh recently recalled an incident from the sets of the mystery thriller when Amitabh Bachchan was rehearsing a scene for about the 16th or 17th time. He told that actress Taapsee Pannu had almost fainted.
In a recent interview with Mashable India, filmmaker Sujoy Ghosh was shown a picture of himself with Amitabh Bachchan on the sets of Badla. You can see the photo given below.
Seeing the picture, Sujoy described Big B as ‘that person’ in her life. Talking about that particular moment, the director recalled, “In this scene, I think, he was rehearsing for the 16th or 17th time. Everyone else is tired and has fallen asleep somewhere in the corner, Taapsee has already fainted somewhere.”
However, Sujoy said that Amitabh Bachchan said, ‘Let’s do this,’ and kept doing it.
Badla is the official remake of the 2016 Spanish film The Invisible Guest. This is the story of Naina, who gets caught in the middle of a crime investigation. She seeks the help of a lawyer named Badal Gupta, who puts all the pieces of the puzzle together.
Along with Taapsee Pannu and Amitabh Bachchan, Amrita Singh, Tony Luke, Tanveer Ghani and Manav Kaul also played important roles.
Sujoy Ghosh is currently busy preparing for his next film King. He is collaborating with father-daughter duo Shahrukh Khan and Suhana Khan on this project. Pinkvilla has been bringing exclusive updates about the shooting schedule of this film. We recently revealed that the makers are planning to take it on floors in January 2025.
A source close to the development said, “The first schedule of King will begin in Mumbai from January, followed by a marathon schedule in Europe. The makers have conducted several rounds of recce in Europe to identify the untouched locations that gave rise to King’s scale. The film stars Shah Rukh Khan, Suhana Khan, Abhay Verma and Abhishek Bachchan in the lead roles.
