Actor Gurfateh Pirzada, who can be currently seen in Dharma Productions’ Netflix film Guilty (2020), next stars in the much-awaited fantasy drama Brahmastra, directed by Ayan Mukerji for Karan Johar.
Though Brahmastra features Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan in crucial roles, Pirzada has an important role to play too. The actor shares his most screen time with megastar Amitabh Bachchan in the film, and he is thrilled about working with the thespian so early in his career.
Sharing his experience of working with Big B, the young actor tells a publication, “Amitabh sir used to reveal stories about his life. When he had some free time, he would pick up songs from his films and would go to recording studious to sing them. He made me hear the songs that have not released yet. I was excited that at his age and at this level, he still works so hard. Why do we get tired so fast? It is after working with Mr Amitabh Bachchan that I have decided to work as hard as him.”
Pirzada adds that his humility enables everyone to be comfortable while working with him. “Amitabh sir takes note of everything while you are doing a scene with him. I remember in one scene while I had to give my cue, I looked at him, got intimidated, and had forgotten the cue. Amitabh sir, immediately said, ‘Hey, what are you doing? Give the cue quickly’. The next moment I was comfortable and gave him the right cue. Such humility enables everyone to be comfortable while working with him,” he says.
After facing several delays, Brahmastra was set to release on December 4. But the makers may decide to postpone its release yet again in the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic.
