What Amitabh Bachchan Did in Between Takes on the Sets of Piku

Amitabh Bachchan on the sets of Piku

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who plays actress Deepika Padukone's demanding father in Piku lives in his character even between shots, as seen in this behind-the-scenes look at what went down on the sets of director Shoojit Sircar's upcoming film.

The film's official Facebook page offers a glimpse at 'the crazy fun' behind the cameras with Amitabh Bachchan, a few days after it released a similar video on Deepika's crazy side and what she did in between takes for the film.

The video shows Mr Bachchan's entertaining side while taking a breather between shots. But the cantankerous and curmudgeonly hypochondriac with chronic indigestion is seen giving a piece of his mind to one of the crew members, who demands silence on the sets of the film and says "Who is talking? And don't move" (apparently it was Amitabh Bachchan moving around). Big B responds with "Main baat kara raha hoon yaar. Tu kaan se kanpatti toh nikaal".

He also speaks to a crew member about being a true artist and a 'spoilt actor' who can even exercise the liberty of leaving the sets if he wishes to. In another instance, Big B authoritatively says "Final decision. End of discussion".

From running around with his pot-belly, dancing and singing, to speaking in Bengali accent with utter perfection, Mr Bachchan makes the whole atmosphere on the sets very lively and entertaining. The actor also breaks dead silence on the sets with the dialogue "Itna sannata kyun hai bhai?".

Mr Bachchan's potent presence and hilarious conversations with the crew in the video reveal the 72-year-old actor's rather crazy side as promised by the makers.

The video also shows Mr Bachchan's sincerity towards his work, where he is seen saying "Don't worry. Kaam nai khatam hoga toh raat bhar kaam karega".

Towards the end of the video, Big B leaves everyone in splits as he goes on to say "We are mad people. We are making a mad film. Please understand this carefully".

Piku, which revolves around a father-daughter relationship, is shot extensively in Kolkata and Delhi. The film also stars Irrfan Khan and Moushumi Chatterjee.

Piku is set to release on May 8.
