It's not for nothing that Amitabh Bachchan is considered one of the greatest actors in the industry. Earlier this week, sound artist Resul Pookutty and producer Anand Pandit couldn't help but gush over the megastar on social media, congratulating him for pulling off a 14-minute-long take in one shot during the shoot of Chehre.
Rumi Jafry, who has helmed the mystery thriller that also features Emraan Hashmi and Kriti Kharbanda, says he had deliberately left the climax for the last day of shoot, knowing that it would be a demanding scene. "It is one of the most intense scenes in the film where Amitji's character sums up his feelings." Though the sequence was shot at a suburban studio on Tuesday, the director reveals that Bachchan and he pored over the material for days before rolling with it.
