2019’s film Badla garnered plenty of praise and affection from viewers. Recently, director Sujoy Ghosh recounted an incident during the making of the suspenseful drama when Amitabh Bachchan was practicing a scene, approximately his 16th or 17th time. He mentioned that Taapsee Pannu came close to fainting on set.

During an interview with Mashable India, filmmaker Sujoy Ghosh was presented with a photograph taken on the set of Badla alongside Amitabh Bachchan. Here is the image for your viewing pleasure.

In the picture, Sujoy referred to Big B as “the most significant individual” in his life. Reflecting on that specific instance, the director recalled, “During this sequence, he was practicing for what I believe was the 16th or 17th take. Meanwhile, everyone else seemed exhausted and had dozed off in various corners; Taapsee, unfortunately, had fainted somewhere.
