Amitabh also wrote on his Facebook page, “In the company of the Big Cat, in the heart of the city. You cannot imagine the forests that abound in the heart of urban Mumbai. This tiger chased us for 4 kms, very unusual. They do not normally do this. It is in the SGNP Reserve, right within the Film City, where we work so often. Incredible!”

Amitabh Bachchan will soon be seen with Farhan Akhtar in upcoming thriller ‘Wazir’.
