Abhishek Bachchan’s death defying stunt in Raavan Hindi movie

Mehdi — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 20:28:16 +0000

By this time, all of you have seen the teaser of Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s upcoming movie, Raavan, where Abhishek Bachchan jumps off a cliff. In reality, it was a very dangerous stunt scene Abhishek Bachchan did it all by himself. In the beginning, director Mani Ratnam did not want Abhishek Bachchan to jump off the cliff but Abhishek Bachchan was adamant of making the jump. It was a 90 feet long cliff and there was strong current in the water. It was all too risky for Abhishek Bachchan. Interestingly, there were some local boys who were ready to jump off the cliff in exchange of money. Abhishek told Mani that if those boys could do that so could he. Finally, Mani gave into his demand. However, Abhishek Bachchan was first trained by a diver. During the shot, when Abhishek Bachchan made the jump he told himself: “Oh my God, I’m going to die!”

However, Abhishek Bachchan is not angry with Mani Ratnam. He said that Raavan is the most challenging role in his carrier not because the movie was shot in a harsh jungle environment but it was a very demanding role and it drained all the energy but at the end of the day, Abhishek Bachchan was very happy that he did a good job.

Mehdi — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 11:32:48 +0000

Amitabh Bachchan has been suffering from liver cirrhosis. The disease destroyed 25% of his liver. Normally, this disease is common among alcoholic people but Amitabh Bachchan is not alcoholic. He contracted this disease in 1982 when he was severely injured from an accident while shooting Coolie. Mr. Bachchan broke the news on his official blog. IndiaGlitz reports:

Cirrhosis impairs the liver’s ability to control infections and process nutrients, hormones and drugs. The sensitivity of the disease requires Bachchan to stay under constant vigil and monitoring.

While shooting for a fight sequence, Amitabh Bachchan’s intestines were severely damaged. He remained ill for several weeks. At that time, Amitabh Bachchan’s fans around India prayed for his cure. He also received 60 bottles of blood from 200 volunteers. He underwent blood transfusion and one of the volunteers carried “Australian antigen hepatitis” which caused new problems. After doing various tests it has been assured that the antigen attacked his liver. Unfortunately, the existence of this antigen was not known at that time. Now, sixty seven year old Amitabh Bachchan has to undergo medical test on a regular basis.

Amitabh Bachchan is the living legend of Bollywood cinema. From a simple clerk working in a shipping company, he went on to become one of the biggest movie stars of the Indian cinema. He acted in numerous movies. Amitabh Bachchan’s son, Abhishek Bachchan and daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai Bachchan are also well established actors in Bollywood cinema.

Aishwarya Rai is considered to be the most beautiful women. Of course, there can be debates that whether Aishwarya Rai is, in deed, the most beautiful women in the world or not. However, her fans think that she is the most beautiful Bollywood actress. I would like to debate that thing too, but the number of fans of Aishwarya Rai is too many and I know I can not win over them. New problem, it is important that her husband Abhishek Bachchan thinks the same way like her fans. Recently, in the opening of Bollywood movie Drona, many people felt that Abhishek Bachchan was overshadowed by Aishwarya Rai. Well, the same thing happened in CAN Film Festival too. There many reporters all the times were asking him about his wife Aishwarya Rai. How does Abhishek Bachchan feels?

NDTV wrote:

At this year’s Cannes Film Festival attended by him and his wife, Abhishek was repeatedly asked how it felt to be overshadowed by his wife.

“Although the intention behind such questions is obviously not honourable, I don’t get rattled at all. It’s a pleasure to be overshadowed by the most beautiful woman in the world. I had a ball doing the ‘Unforgettable’ concerts with Aishwarya,” said Abhishek.

After Guru, the actor is teaming up with his wife once again for Mani Ratnam’s next film.

Abhishek Bachchan has said to the reporters that he does not feel bad and he does not mind being overshadowed by the most beautiful women in the world. Well, poor Abhishek Bachchan. In most of his life, he was overshadowed by his father Amitabh Bachchan at first, and now it is the time getting overshadowed by his wife Aishwarya Rai.

Says a source close to the Bachchans, “Saif and Shahid showed absolutely no hesitation in joining the Bachchans on their tour. The price being offered was fine and the dates for the venues where they’ll perform were worked out to their convenience.
As for Madhuri it’d be the easiest thing in the world for her to join the Bachchans for the concerts in the US since that’s where she lives.”

There are many other stars who are going to join these mega stars on the tour to US and Europe. Though the Bachchans are going to remain in the center of all attention, it is not yet confirmed if Jaya Bachchan would join her family members on the tour.
