Ajay Devgn spoke about Amitabh Bachchan who sustained the injuries while shooting for Major Saab in 1998. Amitabh currently received treatment for an injury faced while shooting for Project K in Hyderabad. Referring to it, Ajay mentioned the safety precautions ensured by him for his new film Bholaa.
Ajay Devgn stated how the action scenes and its shooting have become much effortless than before. He said, “It is like our job is difficult and easy also now. At that point of time when Mr Bachchan used to do action. there were no mattresses, there were no safety measures, there were no cables. We injure every part of our body. Mr Bachchan has done shots that you can’t even imagine. I remember him getting injured while doing Major Saab.”
“He insisted he will jump from some thirty feet. It was three floors high, and I told him let’s not do this shot. I mean we can work it out with duplicates. We both were supposed to jump and he insisted we’ll do it. We had an injury in that film also. So it’s that enthusiasm, Now I’d say things are much easier. There are cables. There are safety precautions. There is an ambulance and doctors on set. There are paddings and lots of stuff. So, it’s become relatively much easier. Thank God, while we are aging, things are getting easier also.”
Helmed by Tinu Anand, Major Saab featured Amitabh with Ajay, Sonali Bendre, Nafisa Ali, Rakhee Malhotra, and Ashish Vidyarthi and others.
