The filmmaker
Sujoy Ghosh
shared an interesting anecdote about veteran actor
Amitabh Bachchan
's nervousness on the first day of shooting a film.
While talking in The Director’s Roundtable, Ghosh revealed that during the initial moments of filming, Bachchan was with his mic on. But he did not know that as he said that he feels nervous. He was heard murmuring to himself about feeling
nervous
even after so many years in the industry.
Ghosh humorously mentioned that it made the rest of the crew realize that they were not alone in experiencing first-day jitters. Sujoy Ghosh and Amitabh Bachchan have previously collaborated on films like Badla, Aladin, and Te3n.

While talking about his career, Ghosh discussed the challenges he faced while making the Vidya Balan starrer Kahaani. He mentioned that it was considered a significant risk at the time, with people discouraging him due to the unconventional plot of a pregnant woman fleeing in Calcutta. Despite the skepticism and lack of financial support from others, Ghosh emphasized that taking on
Kahaani
was the most significant risk he had ever taken in his career.
Recently, Sujoy Ghosh directed the film Jaane Jaan, featuring
Kareena Kapoor Khan

Ghosh's journey in the film industry, marked by both challenges and successes, underscores the unpredictable nature of filmmaking and the importance of taking bold risks to achieve creative milestones.
