Director and singer Tinu Anand is in the news these days regarding one of his old interviews. In this interview, he revealed many stories related to his film Shahenshah and Amitabh Bachchan, which is fun and interesting. As bad as that moment was for him while making the film, its ending was equally special for him, which he can never forget.
Tinu faced difficulties during the film
While talking to Bollywood Bubble, when he was asked about the problems faced in the film Shahenshah, Tinu Anand said, ‘The main problem of Shahenshah was that the film was not starting. Amitabh Bachchan had an accident and we had borrowed a lot of money. Two weeks after the day of his accident, an announcement came that his health had become so bad that now he would probably not work in films and our picture had started. We had borrowed money from financial and it was the worst thing. You have got finance, its meter is started, then the news comes that Amitabh Bachchan, who is your main hero, has given you the money because of him. It is not in your picture. Just leaving work. Everyone was outside my door and this was the worst time for me.
Tinu Anand further said, ‘After all these problems, Amitabh Bachchan came back. I met him because I got the news that Amit ji has called you. There I gave him a dialogue, it was lunch break and three plates were served. He said eat food. Sir started eating, but noticed I was not eating. Then he asked what happened, why are you not eating? Then I said, Sir, you take my life. My hunger will be satisfied. Your difficulty will become easier. Then he says that I have talked to Bunty and as soon as I start the movie, I will do your movie first. It was in this happiness that I went by taxi dancing.
