Amitabh reveals how he got shock during song shoot.Amitabh Bachchan's Electrifying Story Behind "Sara Zamana".
In a recent episode of "Kaun Banega Crorepati 16," Amitabh Bachchan regaled viewers with hilarious behind-the-scenes anecdotes from the shooting of his iconic song "Sara Zamana" from the film "Yaarana."
Responding to a contestant's praise for his versatility, Bachchan quipped, "Hum toh naukri ke chakkar mein hote hain, bas naukri mil jaye!" (I’m just trying to get a job). He then delved into the challenges of shooting the song, starting with the unexpected crowd surge.
Bachchan revealed that his initial suggestion to film at Kolkata's new stadium, expecting a crowd of 12,000, was met with an overwhelming turnout of 50,000 people. The production was forced to halt filming due to safety concerns. To overcome this obstacle, the team secretly returned to shoot at night, using candles to mimic a cheering audience.
The real kicker, however, came with Bachchan's revelation about his "bijli wala jacket" (electric jacket). The lighting setup relied on a live wire, which caused a rather unexpected form of motivation. Bachchan explained that the electric shocks he received from the jacket forced him to dance, saying, "The moment the electricity flowed, I started dancing—not because I wanted to, but because I was getting electric shocks!"
This candid admission serves as a testament to Bachchan's dedication and commitment to his craft, even when faced with such unusual circumstances. His humorous account highlights the challenges and triumphs that come with filmmaking, reminding us that even iconic moments can be born out of the most unexpected scenarios.
