Ajay Devgn recalls Amitabh Bachchan jumped from 30 feet, injured on ‘Major Saab’ set: 'He insisted...'

Actor Ajay Devgn recalled the time Amitabh Bachchan sustained injuries on the sets of ‘Major Saab’ in 1998. During the promotion of his upcoming film ‘Bholaa’, Ajay was asked about the safety measures he takes on the sets of his films referring to Big B’s recent accident during the shoot of ‘Project K’ in Hyderabad.

Ajay said that action scenes have become easier these days than they were some years ago. He recalled the incident that happened on the sets of ‘Major Saab’, where he was shooting with Amitabh Bachchan.

He said, ‘It is like our job is difficult and easy also now. At that point of time when Mr Bachchan used to do action. there were no mattresses, there were no safety measures, there were no cables. We injure every part of our body. Mr Bachchan has done shots that you can’t even imagine. I remember him getting injured while doing Major Saab. He insisted he will jump from some thirty feet. It was three floors high, and I told him let’s not do this shot. I mean we can work it out with duplicates. We both were supposed to jump and he insisted we’ll do it. We had an injury in that film also. So it’s that enthusiasm.’

He also opened up on the safety precautions being taken these days and said, ‘Now I’d say things are much easier. There are cables. There are safety precautions. There is an ambulance and doctors on set. There are paddings and lots of stuff. So, it’s become relatively much easier. Thank God, while we are aging, things are getting easier also. It’s like driving a car. You can have an accident anytime, but you try to be safe all the time. So, it just happens sometimes but we try to take all the safety measures but there are risks.’

‘Bholaa’, which also stars Amala Paul, Sanjay Mishra and Deepak Dobriyal, is a remake of the 2019 Tamil film 'Kaithia'. It is scheduled to release on March 30.
