Vikrant Massey’s method acting for 12th Fail

During their interaction on KBC 16, Manoj Kumar, while speaking about Vikrant’s preparation for 12th Fail stated that, “When I met Vikrant, I found him to be very cheerful and he said something to me that touched my heart. He mentioned that my story has deeply moved him and he would put in all his efforts to ensure that the story reaches the audience. For 20-22 days, Vikrant stayed under the sun in Chambal, applying oil and sitting out in the heat to get the tan.”

Amitabh Bachchan shares candid anecdote from Deewar

While recalling his personal story from the set of Yash Chopra’s Deewar, the KBC host said, “I remember a scene from my film Deewar, where I had to fight with goons and after the fight, I have to open the door and get out of the den. Now the action scene was shot somewhere else and the godown scene was elsewhere. The last part of the scene was shot a few days later at the Mumbai docks. When we got back to that scene I wanted to make it look authentic. Because the scene required me to fight the goons, I had to look tired in the climax scene. So, before they rolled the shoot, I got ready and told them to wait. I ran around the area 10 times, just to appear tired and make it believable. An actor fully immerses themselves into their character.”

Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 16 airs on Sony Entertainment Television at 9 PM.
