“He (Amitabh Bachchan)was really curious about technology. He was very curious to know how we were going to make him 8 feet tall. And, for the humongous star that he is and for the delays that we generally have on set, he was the most patient, non-intrusive person. He would just patiently come, sit in his massive amount of prosthetic, wig, and beard and not complain at all,” said Nag while talking to India Today.
“The first time I was completely taken aback and speechless was during the first schedule. I think we were shooting, and were delayed. We were trying to catch up and he came up to me and I was trying to make an excuse to him about the delay and he’s like, ‘Can I just use the restroom and come?’ I said, ‘Why are you asking me, sir, you can do whatever you want.’ So he’s just he’s just that great,” he added.
