Aamir Khan talks about Amitabh Bachchan
In an interview with ABP Conclave, Aamir Khan spoke about the shooting of his debut movie Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. He recalled an incident involving Amitabh Bachchan that worked as a 'lesson' for him. It took place at the Film City. Khan said: "I was in the makeup room with my cousin Nusat, Raj Zutshi and Reena (Dutta). Outside the makeup room, the shooting of another film was underway. We could hear an actor rehearsing his lines almost 100,200 times."
Khan stated that witnessing someone like Bachchan doing his work diligently left an impact on him. "At that time, as a newcomer to the industry, witnessing a superstar like Amitji rehearse so extensively, work so diligently and maintain such a focus left a lasting impression on me", he added.
The Laal Singh Chaddha actor said that Big B gave 8 to 10 takes for a long scene and then asked the film's director Prakash Mehra if he spoke too fast. It was a lesson for me that there is no end to rehearsals. He concluded by saying that even greats like Charlie Chaplin used to rehearse 200 and 300 times.
