The discussion dates back to the filming of the 2004 thriller “Aetbaar,” in which Amitabh starred alongside John Abraham and Bipasha Basu. At the time, John and Bipasha were reportedly in a relationship, and Bachchan played the role of Bipasha’s father in the movie.
In the footage, Bachchan humorously recounts an incident from the set when John had contracted conjunctivitis. Simi Garewal, teasingly warning the team to avoid touching anything Amitabh had touched to prevent infection, prompts Bachchan to quip, “Maine toh kiya hi nahi kuch” (“I didn’t do anything”). He then adds with a playful smile, “Saari touching toh Bipasha karti hai, main thode na karta hun” (“It’s Bipasha who does all the touching, not me”).
This light-hearted exchange highlights Bachchan’s quick humor and the camaraderie shared among the cast during the film’s production. The resurfaced video has delighted fans, offering a nostalgic glimpse into the behind-the-scenes moments of Bollywood’s golden era.
On the professional front, Amitabh Bachchan was most recently seen in the film “Vettaiyan,” where he shared the screen with Rajinikanth, Fahadh Faasil, and Rana Daggubati. Directed by T. J. Gnanavel and produced by Subaskaran Allirajah’s Lyca Productions, the action thriller centers around Rajinikanth as Athiyan, a seasoned police officer who unintentionally shoots and kills an innocent person during an encounter.
The ‘Piku’ actor will next be seen in Deepika Padukone’s upcoming film “The Intern” and also has the second part of “Kalki 2898 AD” in the lineup.
