Amitabh-Arshad’s film ‘Jamaanat’ was never released, 10 takes in the scorching heat and lifelong lessons learned from the megastar
New Delhi. Arshad Warsi told that his luck in this matter has been very bad, because he has never been able to work with his favorite superstars. Although she had done a film with Amitabh, but it could not be released.
Arshad Warsi always wanted to work with some successful and super talented people of the industry, but his luck did not favor him in this matter. One of these selected people was the legendary Amitabh Bachchan, with whom Arshad Warsi could not even work. Because the film he did was never released in theatres. The name of this film was ‘Zamaanat’, while working in which Arshad Warsi got an important lesson from Amitabh Bachchan.
This film was never released
Arshad Warsi told in a conversation with ‘The Lallantop’, “My luck is so bad, I have not worked with Amit ji till date. We had done an entire film together, but it was not released. There one thing I realized was that Amitabh Bachchan ji had told me that you keep doing your shot until you are happy. It doesn’t matter, no matter what happens. You have to keep doing your shot until you yourself are satisfied.” Arshad also narrated an anecdote related to this.
10 takes were done in the scorching sun
Describing the level of dedication with which Amitabh Bachchan works, Arshad Warsi said, “We had taken a shot there. We had done this scene in Hyderabad. There is a set of a courtroom in the scorching sun. There are a lot of lawyers on the stairs. Amit ji is standing and I am standing. There are about 500-1000 people who are on strike and lying on the road. Amit ji has a long speech in his voice. Inside. He did some 7-8 or 10 takes of that scene. Because he wanted to do it well.”
‘I thought he was joking’
Arshad Warsi told that after doing one last take he felt that he had done well. After this all the things were removed and we went upstairs and sat. But then he said, “You know what, I think one more take should be done. I thought he was joking. Because so many takes had been given till now. He called the assistant and said – Tell sir to do one more. Again he did. All the fuss was setup again. Again he did 6-7 takes and then he agreed.”
