Last year, while reflecting back at his journey on completion of two decades in the film industry, Abhishek Bachchan had written, "Guru brought me back together with Mani for the 2nd time, @aishwaryaraibachchan_arb for the 4th and #Mithunda, @balanvidya and @actormaddy for the first time. Guru, was one of the most creatively satisfying films in my career."
Further, the actor had also shared an interesting trivia about the film with a long post on his Instagram page.
Abhishek
had
written,
"On
the
sets
of
Guru
in
October
2006
in
Madurai.
Mani
had
decided
to
shoot
the
song
Tere
Bina
(
my
all
time
favourite)
much
after
we
had
finished
principle
photography.
If
you
look
closely
during
the
song
I
had
long
hair,
which
I
had
grown
for
my
film
Jhoom
Barabar
Jhoom.
Since
this
shoot
happened
in
the
middle
of
JBJ's
shoot
(Shaad,
the
director
of
JBJ
can
never
say
no
to
Mani
as
he
used
to
be
Mani's
assistant
and
considers
him
to
be
like
family,
hence
adjusted
his
dates
to
enable
this
shoot)
I
just
shaved
my
beard
but
obviously
couldn't
cut
my
hair.
They
used
to
pin
up
my
hair
during
this
shoot
to
look
shorter
and
match
the
continuity
look
of
Gurukant
Desai.
This
photo
was
taken
whilst
I
was
seeing
the
playback
of
the
now
famous
scene
where
Guru
says
the
very
famous
dialogue
"
जब
लोग
तुम्हारे
ख़िलाफ़
बोलने
लगे,
समझ
लो
तरक़्क़ी
कर
रहे
हो।".
Mani,
last
minute
decided
to
include
this
scene
in
the
film.
So
we
used
to
shoot
all
night
for
the
song,
sleep
a
couple
of
hours
and
then
shoot
this
scene
in
the
daytime
in
the
patio
of
the
hotel
we
were
staying
at
in
Madurai.
I
think
it
was
the
Taj.
"
He
had
further
added,
"A
fun
fact.
Also
seen
in
this
photo
is
one
of
my
best
friends
Gaurav.
Babu,
as
I
fondly
call
him
had
come
to
visit
me
and
Aishwarya
during
the
shoot
as
he
stays
in
Chennai.
Just
as
we
were
about
to
begin
the
scene
Mani
decided
he
wanted
to
shoot
this
scene
in
OS
(
over
the
shoulder)
of
the
"minister".
Since
we
didn't
have
an
actor
on
hand,
they
(
Mani
and
@dirrajivmenon
[also
seen
in
this
photo])
literally
put
a
very
reluctant
Babu
into
the
shot
as
he
was
on
set
watching
the
shoot
and
made
him
into
the
"minister".
I
don't
think
he
will
ever
forgive
us
for
doing
that
to
him
and
has
since
never
visited
any
shoot
of
mine!
😁."
Mani Ratnam's Guru was inspired by the life of one of India's biggest business tycoons Dhirubhai Ambani. Touted to be one of Abhishek Bachchan's career best performances, the film was a recipient of many awards. Besides Abhishek Bachchan, Guru also starred Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Mithun Chakraborty, Vidya Balan and R Madhavan in pivotal roles.
