When Taapsee Pannu brought the script for ‘Badla’ to director Sujoy Ghosh, she did not anticipate her co-star Amitabh Bachchan’s constant rehearsals would leave her feeling exhausted. ‘Badla’ was Big B’s second collaboration with Taapsee after the critically acclaimed ‘Pink’. The mystery thriller also featured Amrita Singh in a pivotal role. 

Taapsee Pannu nearly fainted due to Amitabh Bachchan’s rehearsals

In an interview with Mashable India, Sujoy Ghosh recalled, “Sir (Amitabh Bachchan) has been a significant figure in my life. In this scene, he was rehearsing for what might have been the 16th or 17th time. Everyone else was exhausted and had dozed off; Taapsee had nearly fainted in a corner. But sir insisted, ‘Let’s do this,’ and kept rehearsing.”
