Bachchan falls asleep while filming

Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan, who is going strong and is busy with several projects, revealed how he actually fell asleep while they were filming a scene in which he had to pretend that he was sleeping, reports NDTV.

"My sleep was genuine. They actually had to come and wake me up to tell me that it was over," Amitabh Bachchan, 74, revealed in his new blog post according to the Indian news portal.

Bachchan is now filming 102 Not Out with Rishi Kapoor and Yash Raj Film's Thugs Of Hindostan simultaneously.

"Sleep (is) that mechanism that has been a constant in us all. Like taking in air to breathe and survive and the opportunity of catching up with its loss, on set is a gifted moment in the script - rare - but so welcome. One actually goes to sleep, while the lighting and the action and the scene is being conducted. Such a delight," he wrote.
