Amitabh Bachchan Reminisces About Electric Shock Experience While Shooting ‘Sara Zamana’ Song

Amitabh recalled how he suggested filming the song at Kolkata’s newly opened Netaji Subhas Chandra Stadium. However, an unexpected crowd of 50,000 people showed up far exceeding the stadium’s 12,000 capacity forcing the team to halt production. They later returned at night to film, using candles to give the impression of a full audience.

One of the most memorable stories he shared involved his iconic light-up jacket, which became infamous during the performance. Amitabh revealed that the jacket’s lights were powered by a wire, and the electricity caused him to dance involuntarily. “As soon as the electricity flowed, I started dancing not because I wanted to, but because I was getting electric shocks!” he humorously recounted.
