Amitabh Bachchan, a veteran of nearly 57 years in the film industry, has shared his reflections on the evolution of filmmaking. He observes that the extensive preparation for roles, now common, was an unfamiliar concept in his early career.
Bachchan recalls a time when he and his contemporaries would simultaneously work on 10 to 15 films, often filming different roles on the same day. This demanding schedule made in-depth character analysis and preparation impractical, unlike the practices of today's actors.
He expresses admiration for contemporary actors who dedicate considerable effort to understanding their characters and their looks. However, he also emphasizes the pragmatic approach taken in his early days, driven by the need to secure future work.
Looking ahead, Amitabh Bachchan is set to reprise his role as Ashwatthama in the sequel to 'Kalki 2898 AD,' a film that has garnered significant attention following its predecessor's success.
