In a recent interview, Apoorva Lakhia reminisced about the time Amitabh Bachchan walked into a s**ip club wearing an unbuttoned shirt. Read on to know the full story!
Filmmaker Apoorva Lakhia, who collaborated with Amitabh Bachchan on Ek Ajnabee, has revealed that the veteran actor struggles with insomnia. Reflecting on his experience working with him, Apoorva shared that despite long hours on set, Bachchan never seemed to get tired and was always enthusiastic about making plans after work. He recalled that during their time in Bangkok, Bachchan expressed a keen interest in exploring the local culture and walked into a s**ip club wearing an unbuttoned shirt, adding that he was ‘mind-blown’.
In an interview with Friday Talkies, Apoorva recounted an incident when Amitabh Bachchan asked him for a tour of Bangkok. He recalled hesitantly informing the actor about Patpong, a district known for its live shows, warning that his presence there could cause chaos.
However, Bachchan insisted on visiting, and they eventually went. Apoorva mentioned that actors Arjun Rampal, Vikram Chatwal, Perizaad Zorabian, and producer Bunty Walia accompanied them too. He also recalled that Bachchan was dressed in a shirt with most of the buttons undone and paired it with a traditional Thai dhoti-like garment.
Apoorva recounted that as Big B walked through, they headed to a club called Exotic Pu**y, known for its live shows. He mentioned that Bachchan had never witnessed such performances before, and as they entered, the presence of the legendary actor caused a frenzy among the Indians there.
