DAY 1156 Amitabh Bachchan Blog

I am exhausted !! A zombie now, capable of only uttering repeat questions on #BHTBaap ! The intensity of press meets now are almost bizarre. On one location, within the confines of a club at the Marriott bunched up electronic and print media keeps coming out of the wood work, seeking answers to the film, which you have just finished recording in similarity for the n th time. Some of our best performances take place not in front of the cameras making a film, but indeed in front of the cameras making promotional interviews for the betterment of the project on release. However, the quality I admire most, on such occasions is the camaraderie that exists between each media channel. They all are present together and awaiting their turn to come and speak, but knowing the presence of another member of their fraternity, never ever deny them their importance or presence and in complete harmony allow each media group to conduct their job while they wait for their turn to come … Amazing absolutely !

My friend and sympathiser Mr R Balki, who every now and then tests my capabilities as an actor and who has been a great bouncing board, did one of the sweetest things for me. On his own and voluntarily, he went ahead and made 4 promos for the film #BHTBaap, without telling anyone. And I have to say they are the most smartest piece of advertising that I have ever seen. These promos shall be on air soon and they are exceptional ! Absolutely exceptional ! I am so keen to send them out into the cyber world and every channel. Soon then … they shall be out !

Abu-Sandeep that most talented designer duo, had to do a photo shoot with me, so after the interviews went across to them and with that very talented still photographer Ram Shergil, made some sensational stills for a book that they are bringing out on the completion of a certain number of years of their couture work. Unfortunately I cannot put those pictures out, but when you shall see them you will realize the beauty of their craft and the skills of Ram ..

More stuff on promotion follows in the morrow … its the radio stations and more electronic and then perhaps a respite for a few days, when I shall have to be overseeing post production work. Its a mad rush every day, but somehow one manages to survive. The only grace being that this is done for the benefit of the film. And the more we involve ourselves in it the more the advantage of not being disappointed at the end of the day, or more appropriately, at the end of the film !!

I have just had the biggest yawn one could ever imagine ! I really must rest before I bust a nerve. Its almost coming on to 1:30 in the morning and I have to be up at 5 am !!

Good night my dears and dearies .. sleep well

Love

Amitabh Bachchan
