There is a legend in Bollywood. Act with Amitabh and be prepared to get intimidated and especially so if you are a rookie. Now imagine what happens if you are making your Bollywood debut with none other the towering superstar actor. To get intimidated is a given.
Akshara Haasan, who is debuting with Amitabh through Shamitabh, too admitted recently that she was highly intimidated and nervous while acting with Amitabh. Thankfully, the superstar made her comfortable which put her at ease immediately.
However, Amitabh doesn't in the least like being told that his presence itself is intimidating to other actors. When asked how he made Akshara comfortable, Amitabh said, I don't make anyone comfortable or uncomfortable. I just come on sets to do my job. Everybody does their job. They (Akshara and Dhanush) are all proficient actors too. They work hard and come well prepared "
Amitabh who had joked about Akshara intimidating him at the trailer launch of Shamitabh, on a serious note told us that the notion of him intimidating others is completely wrong. "This is a wrong thought that actors come on sets and get intimidated by me or anybody else. Nothing like that which happens on sets."
Well, Bachchan's modesty may disallow him from accepting that he is an intimidating personality for we think it is but natural to feel intimidated when you are in his towering and distinguished presence.
