In a recent interview, the filmmaker shared an interesting anecdote from the sets of their film that had stunned everyone. Scroll down for details.

The filmmaker recently opened up about the time Big B kept screaming on the sets of a film that left everyone in shock and worried. However, it was only later that he revealed why was he behaving that way.

Speaking to Film Companion, R Balki revealed, “Once, Amit ji was on set, and he was screaming… He never screams, he’s the calmest guy. Suddenly, he starts screaming. And everybody was stunned. We’d never seen him scream. I said, ‘One second, there’s something wrong out here’, so I went up to his van. I asked, ‘Everything okay? Food okay? Why are you screaming?’ He looked at me, didn’t reply, went back to his poker face.”
