Overview
- In a new Aap Ki Adalat interview, Farhan Akhtar explains he approached Amitabh Bachchan privately on Lakshya’s first day to speed up a tightly timed shoot.
- He says his youthful enthusiasm may have come across poorly to the veteran actor and confirms he apologised after realising it might have hurt him.
- Bachchan recently recounted on Kaun Banega Crorepati that the exchange made him feel like a novice, after which he called Jaya Bachchan before deciding to continue.
- Both accounts describe the episode as a brief miscommunication, with the rest of the 2004 shoot proceeding smoothly.
- Lakshya marked Akhtar’s directorial debut and starred Bachchan with Hrithik Roshan and Preity Zinta, while Akhtar now promotes 120 Bahadur for a November 21 release as Bachchan hosts KBC 17 and lines up a Kalki 2898 AD sequel.
