Amitabh Bachchan shares photo of ‘a bewildered Ranbir Kapoor’ from Ajooba sets, the stick with which Shashi Kapoor whacked the actors

Amitabh Bachchan celebrated 30 years of his film Ajooba. The film, released in 1991, was produced and directed by Shashi Kapoor, and it seems a young Ranbir Kapoor was a visitor to the sets.

Amitabh Bachchan celebrated 30 years of his film Ajooba, an Indian-USSR co-production film, which was loosely based on an Arabic folklore. The actor shared several photos on his blog and recalled the experience of working on the Shashi Kapoor directorial venture, which released in 1991.

“… of the several memories of the days .. of the collaboration with the Russian Company .. of the trips to Russia the bitter cold at time and the times of the calmer warmer enclaves of great historic importance .. of the dear colleagues of the friendly friends in the USSR and the snow and the freezing of it on the wings of the plane before takeoff .. of the de freezing of them each time it taxied out and could not take off .. the special chemical used for melting it and after many attempts the flight back to home .. and the memory of those that we worked with and .. sadly some dear that have left us today .. now just the years remain,” the actor wrote on his blog.

One of the photos features late actor Rishi Kapoor, who had passed away in 2020. Another photo of Amitabh Bachchan featured the actor alongside the late actor-filmmaker Shashi Kapoor. “The famous stick that Shashi ji used on set to whack us about,” Amitabh recalled as he shared the picture.



But the one photo that grabbed our attention is of a young Ranbir Kapoor. Ranbir, along with mother Neetu Kapoor and sister Riddhima Kapoor, seemed to have paid a visit on the sets of Ajooba. Both Riddhima and Ranbir look in awe of Big B. Describing the moment, the Piku actor wrote, “and the bewildered Ranbir on the sets.”

On Instagram, Amitabh Bachchan shared a still of himself from Ajooba and wrote, “30 years of AJOOBA !! .. how time has passed.”
