Amitabh Bachchan Recalls His Jhund Co-Star Asking Him 'Sir, Rote Kaise Hain?' Before Filming An Emotional Scene: 'His Situation Was So Harsh, He Was Beyond Crying'
Amitabh Bachchan reveals his Jhund co-star asking him 'Sir, rote kaise hain' during the shoot
Amitabh Bachchan is currently enjoying the success of his latest release 'Jhund'. The film has received rave reviews. Directed by Nagraj Manjule, Big B is playing the role of a coach who inspires slum kids to take up the game of football. Many of the actors playing footballers in the film are reportedly first-time actors from slums. In a recent interview, Big B revealed a moment during the shoot when he was asked 'rote kaise hain' by one of the kids.
Speaking to Bollywood Hungama, Big B said, "I remember one thing. There is a scene in the film where the kids are in tears. Before the scene, one of the kids came up to me and asked, 'Sir, rote kaise hain?' There is a lot of pain in this."
He continued, "This kid had reached a point where he was beyond crying. He may have never cried in his life. Probably his circumstances and the way he lived and the atmosphere he grew up in were so harsh that maybe he was beyond crying. That moment stayed with me for so long." ALSO READ:HILARIOUS!

Jhund and Big B's performance have received praise from the audiences as well as critics. Reacting to all the love that he's receiving, Big B said, "But really the praiseworthy portion of the film is the youngsters that have performed in it - the boys from the slum. They have been absolutely exceptional in terms of their talent. They were so natural."
Directed by Nagraj Manjule, Jhund also stars Akash Thosar, Rinku Rajguru and more. The film released on March 4. While the film has been praised by the critics, it didn't perform great at the box office.
