OTT stars special show

During the conversation, host Kapil Sharma will ask about Rajesh’s first meeting with megastar Amitabh Bachchan.
Could not meet in the first shoot
Rajesh Tailang said, I have been a big fan of Bachchan ji since childhood. When I got an opportunity to work with him in a film, I decided to attend a workshop which helped me hone my performance. Tailang further told that, in 2005 we were shooting a film in the temple of Filmcity. He reached the sets on the very first day of shooting in the temple and started shooting straight away, so I didn’t get to meet him first.
He said, “The scene we were shooting involved a bomb blast, in which Bachchanji played the role of Joint Commissioner, and I played the role of an ACP, who came right behind him in a car. As soon as I got out of the car, I caught sight of Bachchan in the middle of the shot and greeted him with Namaste during the shoot.
Amitabh called Sumit trapped in Bhopal crowd
Sumeet said, when we were shooting a film in Bhopal, there was a huge crowd of 30-40,000 people for Amitabh sir, which made it look like a cricket match was going on. One day, there was a lot of crowd during the shoot and that day I was also dressed like the people present in the crowd.
So, amid the commotion, I was pushed along with the crowd. Then, Prakash ji, who was directing the film, and Amitabh ji arrived and asked where was the actor who was performing. I shouted from inside the crowd, ‘Hey, I’m here!’ Then he asked me to come.
