Amitabh Bachchan takes a catnap by the banks of Hoogly river

Mumbai: Amitabh Bachchan, who is currently shooting for his upcoming film 'TE3N', posted few pictures on his blog and started it off with, "That is like Leonardo de Caprio of Titanic at the helm of the boat, secure that nothing shall strike the hull or the bow of this one with the devastating ice berg .. why ..? because the Hoogly does not possess qualities to produce ice bergs ! That was like the most sickly humour of the decade !! Pardo? .. !!"

 

He continued, "Catnaps as the boat takes a bit of time to reach base berth by the river banks of the Hoogly river in Kolkata .. the Hoogly, but is indeed the river Ganga entering its final phase before it flows into the great Bay of Bengal …But riding and walking the ‘bridge’ of the city the Howrah Bridge, now renamed, has been nothing short of adventurous .."

 

The actor, who began shooting for the film at 3 o clock in the morning narrated his entire shoot experience. He wrote, "Even at 3 in the morning .. in fact at 3 in the morning does the input to the city actually arrive .. hand carried essentials, trucks laden with the requirements of the city, people and manual labor at its peak .. and millions crossing over this work of technological wonder .. the Howrah Bridge, built by the British during the Raj and a marvel then of the advent of ‘cantilever’ .."

 

However, what was more interesting was a series of pictures where Amitabh was shooting for a sequence with Nawazuddin. He wrote, "The story of the day though has been the ride in the boat for a shot with Nawaz and me .. and the object of most interest, the couple sitting to my left hand and as you watch to my right .. They were oblivious to the situation, the shoot, the presence of actors on set, they were just .. well the man was  .. how do I put it .. simply so enamoured by the lady by his side that throughout the shooting he had just eyes for her .. never for a moment did he take them off her and never for a moment did he stop his amorous overtures  .. They should be on their way to the marriage bureau by now .. that is how intense it was .. for I was privy to the conversation that was ensuing through out this 3 hour shoot …!!!!"
