Amitabh Bachchan performs dangerous stunts for TV serial

Bollywood’s megastar Amitabh Bachchan is all set to debut on television with a series ‘Yudh’. But the startling fact recently revealed was that Big B is all set to perform some deadly stunts for it too. Amitabh Bachchan is known to be dedicated to his work, and to lend authenticity to his work he has decided to defy medical orders and perform the stunts with a body rig. The megastar had been forbidden from wearing any body rig after his accident on the sets of ‘Coolie’ in 1982.

As per sources, Now it seems for the tele-serial ‘Yudh’ Amitabh Bachchan will be once again donning a body rig for a very intricate stunt,”It was an important scene where Bachchan Saab’s character Yudhishthir Sikarwar had to confront an important crisis in his life. The director Ribhu Dasgputa had been told by Big B’s team that he wouldn’t be wearing the body rig. The last time he wore one was for Coolie when the near-fatal accident happened. The director was trying to find a way out of the situation when Big B, realizing how important the stunts with the body rig were, took an impromptu decision, slipped into the body rig and went right ahead with the stunts.”

Director Ribhu Dasgupta further added, “During the briefing for the scene, I wanted to do something that would create a certain atmosphere of intrigue around the protagonist’s character. For this, Sir was required to wear a body rig. He being a thorough professional agreed to wear the body rig although he knew that the action would require him to carry the weight of the heavy metal rig along with the camera. I guess they just don’t make actors like Sir anymore.”

Well truly an amazing feat by the senior actor at this age.
