Amitabh Bachchan’s new look in Pa has proved to be handy in more ways than one.It gives him some anonymity, as fans do not recognise him anymore beneath layers of make-up. This is not such good news for the fans though, who wait eagerly to catch a glimpse of their favourite star.
An incident occurred while the unit was shooting in a school in Kuala Lumpur that proved it. Our source said, “Some locals and Indians got to know that Amitabh Bachchan was shooting there. Within no time, word spread and lots of people showed up on the sets. They wandered all over but just could not spot Amitabh Bachchan.
Some waited endlessly, others returned frustrated and dejected. However, they could not indentify him because of his look in the film. Some of them even cursed the unit for spreading false rumours about Mr Bachchan shooting, when there was only one bald old man and some kids shooting.”
Pas director Balki confirmed the story, “Yes, it’s true. Fans of Amitabh came rushing when they heard he was shooting in a school nearby. The fans stayed for two hours, loitered, went around him and went away complaining that there was no Amitabh. They just couldn’t recognise him.”
