Amitabh Bachchan on why he rehearses so hard for films: ‘At my age, I cannot remember my lines’

Emraan Hashmi expressed how he was “excited but also nervous” about sharing the screen space with Amitabh Bachchan. “I was very excited but also nervous. I have grown up watching his films. I don’t know how many times I have watched Sholay or Natwarlal. I was so tensed. I didn’t want to mess up the first day of shoot with him. I didn’t want to forget my lines. I mugged up my lines. But it was the most enriching experience to work with him,” said Emraan, adding, “His specialty is the fact that he gives everything to a film.” In response to Emraan, Amitabh Bachchan said that as an actor, it is nothing but “disrespect to the makers” if they do not give their 100% and do their job perfectly on the sets. “Which is why we rehearse. At my age, we cannot remember lines. I rehearse so that the lines are somewhere in my mind. Many of my co-stars have said that I rehearse a lot. I just tell them to let me do it on my own. But it is necessary,” Bachchan said.

Big B also spoke about the most challenging part of being a part of Chehre. “Any film is challenging but work is work,” he said, adding few words in praise for producer Anand Pandit. “As a producer, Anand ji has really excelled and looked after the entire unit and production so beautifully. I was so petrified when I was told we have to go to Slovakia and shoot in the snow. But when I landed, I saw every crew members was provided with every sort of facilities to survive in that temperature,” he concluded.

Amitabh Bachchan and Emraan Hashmi‘s Chehre will release on August 27.
