Amitabh Bachchan says he came up with the idea of ‘Sara Zamana’ costume, regretted it later: ‘Electricity was running through me’

He also shared on the show that he also suggested the producer to shoot the song at an indoor stadium in Kolkata which only had capacity for 12,000 people but eventually 50,000 people showed up. He said, “I had suggested the producer to shoot one of the songs, ‘Sara Zamana’, in a different way. There was a new indoor stadium in Kolkata called Netaji Subhash stadium. They asked how we would bring people there and shoot. I suggested that we should spread the word about the shooting. The stadium could have only 12,000 people but 50,000 people had come and another 50,000 were waiting outside.”

Just a couple of years after Yaarana, the actor met with an accident on the set of Coolie. He said he would always be grateful to his fans for their prayers as the actor suffered through a near-fatal injury during the film. “I will always be grateful to you. When I was injured in 1982 during the shoot of Coolie, all of you prayed for me and I can never forget that. I have this huge weight on my shoulders and I will always be indebted to my fans. I will never be able to repay it, that’s what I feel. I am sitting here because of your prayers and blessings,” he said.

Amitabh Bachchan’s accident had the nation worried for him as his fans across the country prayed for his health.
