Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan is known for his dedication, discipline and unstoppable energy. At 82, he’s showing no signs of slowing down. In a recent blog post, the superstar revealed that he completed five ad films and two photo shoots in only two hours—so fast that even the director jokingly warned him about setting a ‘bad precedent’ in the industry.Zooming through the shootWriting on his blog, Big B shared, “Working away .. and the joy of it .. did 5 films and 2 photo shoots in about 2 hrs .. of course they were for an Ad., for a client endorsement .. ! but still !!”He finished the work so quickly that it left the crew and his director friend surprised. In fact, they jokingly told him off for being too fast and efficient. He added, “The crew and friend director tells me – ‘I am spoiling the work template of work’ ….they told me …’if you are going to finish an entire days work in one 4rth of half a day then, your client shall give more films to be made in the one day designated, and that shall set a bad precedent .. for all ” !!Oh .. I just love this .. !!!!”Helping the crew matters moreDespite the light-hearted scolding, the ‘Sholay’ actor shared that his main focus was to help the crew and producers by being quick and efficient, “But the expediency of the work is helping the Producer and the crew .. I would rather do that for the benefit of the worker, than myself…” He also spoke about the many changes he has seen in the film world over the years but stopped short of sharing too much.Big B avoids talking about changes in the industryAmitabh explained why he doesn’t like to comment too much on industry changes these days. According to him, anything he says could be twisted to create sensational headlines.“Many a times they ask me what I have seen as change in the Film World .. and I have many changes noticed. BUT .. NO .. I shall not say it here , because this communication Universe has been besieged by the – IMPOTENCY OF CONTENT .. HAHAHAHA .. EACH EXPRESSION SHALL BE GIVEN A DIFFERENT MEANING IN ORDER TO ATTRACT A HEADLINE (sic).”Finding joy in workIn the end, the ‘Deewaar’ actor summed up his thoughts by simply stating how much he enjoys what he does. “The work is so rewarding.” Even with a career spanning decades, he continues to find happiness in every role and every shoot.What’s next for Big B?Amitabh Bachchan was last seen in the Tamil action drama ‘Vettaiyan’, directed by TJ Gnanavel and starring Rajinikanth.
