Two of Bollywood’s biggest stars Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan got together on Friday to shoot for a conversational video for the upcoming revenge drama Badla. Badla stars Amitabh and Taapsee Pannu in the lead and is produced by Shah Rukh Khan and directed by Sujoy Ghosh. In the video, Amitabh and Shah Rukh not only discussed the film but also spoke about other topics related to the film industry.
A source told a leading tabloid, “Amit ji and SRK went down the memory lane to even discuss the former’s 50-year journey in the industry, from Saat Hindustani (1969) till Badla. In the course of the freewheeling chat, they shared interesting anecdotes from the time when they had worked together in films like Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Veer Zaara, Bhoothnath and its sequel.”

Sujoy was disappointed that he missed the conversation of the two superstars live as he was caught up with post-production work told the tabloid, “Can someone please turn back the clock so I can watch this in real time? I was stuck in a studio with the final mix.” Talking about the collaboration of these two stalwarts of the film industry, Sujoy said, “This is the greatest high in my career when two icons discuss a film that I have directed. These are the moments that one lives for. Both are going all out to promote the film, so I have to give a very good film in return.”
