Amitabh Bachchan's two popular films, Khuda Gawah and Piku, have reached milestones. While the former completed 28 years, the other one completed 5 years. The veteran actor not only recalled the shooting of his two films but also remembered the actors who starred in it, Irrfan and Sridevi, who are no more.
Sharing a collage of pictures, Big B wrote, “28 years of Khuda Gawah .. 5 years of Piku .. vivid as ever .. alive in memory .. lost in the remembrance of the two from there .. exceptional in presence and talent .. and leaving at such short presence ..” Without mentioning the names of Sridevi and Irrfan, he mourned their untimely demise.
Apart from them, Amitabh also lamented the death of Khuda Gawah director, Mukul S Anand. On his blog, he mentioned, “But a third too from Khuda Gawah .. the director Mukul S Anand .. left too early .. the magic of his vision .. his eyes were magical camera lenses .. even after this large interval the frames he did were extraordinary ..”
Revisiting memories of shooting Khuda Gawah and Piku, Big B added, “Khuda Gawah .. the shooting in Afghanistan .. a book shall be required to describe that detail .. hopefully some day .. .. and Piku .. each day spent in the delight of inventing, ad libbing .. making that which has not been written or described , but felt .. doing that which even during the early working days at Calcutta were never done .. cycling the streets .... Khuda Gawah .. the incredible Afghan hospitality .. the immense love from all .. the care and the bonds of friendships .. the stories of the visit bringing emotional quotients .. .. would need days to put all this together .. some day perhaps ..”
Just like him, we also remember both Irrfan and Sridevi, and certainly cannot get over their fabulous on screen performances.
