Actor Avinash Tiwary recounted an awkward incident he had with one of Bollywood's biggest actors. In an interview with Indian Express, the actor shared his embarrasing encounter with veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan on the set of Yudh.
“The first time we met we had to do an action sequence. I had at that point never done an action sequence in my life. In the scene, he had to punch me and I had to duck and give him back. Fortunately, I only hit him on his head but the embarrassment I felt at that time, I still haven’t recovered from it.”
The actor recalled the aftermath of the event and how Big B reacted to it. “It was pin-drop silence on the set and I went in for another punch because they didn’t say cut. It was the instinct of an actor that took over. I walked up to him and said sorry. He said, ‘Yes you hit me on the head.’ I apologised and in my nervousness, I asked him if we should do a rehearsal and he, still holding the back of his head, looked at me like, ‘From where have you gotten this guy.’ He said, ‘But we will do it slowly.’ He told me that action is like choreography so just dance.”
Yudh is a psychological miniseries directed by Ribhu Dasgupta and Dipti Kalwani. The series also stars Sarika, Pavail Gulati, Aahana Kumra, Ayesha Raza Mishra, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, and Kay Kay Menon.
Tiwary is gearing up for the release of Sikandar Ka Muqaddar, which will premiere on November 29 on Netflix.
