Iconic actor Amitabh Bachchan recently took a stroll down memory lane, sharing a throwback picture from the sets of his 1991 film 'Ajooba' in Russia. Despite his extensive experience, the megastar emphasized the importance of preparation for a scene.
On Instagram, Big B posted a black and white picture that captured him seated on a chair, script laid out on his lap, highlighting his dedicated approach to his craft. The post serves as a poignant reminder of the meticulous preparation that goes into creating memorable cinematic moments, even for seasoned veterans like Amitabh Bachchan.
The actor captioned: "Personal designer leather jacket, leather trousers, turtle neck, tinted Aviators... Russia 1990... !!! But still prepping for the scene, script in hand. At shoot for Ajooba... 1990's Russia!!!"
'Ajooba,' directed by Shashi Kapoor and Gennady Vasilyev, features Amitabh Bachchan in the titular role of a superhero. The 1991 film also boasts a star-studded cast including Rishi Kapoor, Dimple Kapadia, Shammi Kapoor, Dara Singh, Saeed Jaffery, and Amrish Puri.
As an Indian-Soviet co-production, 'Ajooba' draws inspiration from Arabic folklore, particularly tales from One Thousand and One Nights. The film holds cultural significance with its cross-cultural narrative and collaborative production.
Notably, 'Ajooba' had a unique release pattern, with a Russian language version titled 'Black Prince Ajuba' hitting screens in the Soviet Union in 1990, preceding its Indian release in 1991. This distinctive release strategy contributed to the film's international appeal and showcased the collaborative efforts between Indian and Soviet cinema during that era.
