Exclusive: Amitabh Bachchan Did Not Charge Any Fee For Chehre, Says Producer Anand Pandit
Rarely does one hear of an actor not charging a producer for a film even if the script is close to his heart. But here is the Big B of Bollywood, Amitabh Bachchan who has worked in Anand Pandit's film Chehre for free! The legendary actor also took care of his travel expenses while shooting in Europe.
When
contacted
by
Filmibeat,
Anand
Pandit
confirmed
the
same.
"It
is
true
that
Mr
Bachchan
has
not
charged
a
single
penny
for
the
film.''
He
reasoned,
"Mr
Bachchan
was
committed
to
this
particular
film/script
and
wanted
to
do
the
film
as
it
is
very
close
to
his
heart.
He
told
me
that
is
not
going
to
charge
a
single
penny
for
it.
Also,
when
he
flew
to
Europe
for
the
outdoor
schedule
of
the
film
all
the
expenses
-
also
for
the
charter
flight
and
everything
-
he
never
charged
me."

Pandit
On
Chehre
And
Rhea
Chakraborty:
There's
A
Level
Of
Interest
To
See
Her
On
Big
Screen
It
may
be
recalled
here
that
Amitabh
Bachchan
had
not
charged
any
fee
back
in
the
day
for
director
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali's
film
Black,
and
the
reason
there,
too,
was
his
admiration
for
the
filmmaker
and
that
he
wanted
to
work
with
SLB.
Incidentally, Amitabh Bachchan and Chehre director Rumy Jaffry also have been close. In fact, Bachchan believing in his kind of cinema was an added reason for the senior actor to not take any fee for it.
This rarely happens in tinseltown, to which, Pandit said, "Amitabh Bachchan is a rare person and we know that he is a living legend.''
