Yudh was a psychological thriller directed by Ribhu Dasgupta and Dipti Kalwani. It was Amitabh Bachchan’s debut fiction television show. Actor Avinash Tiwary has recalled an embarrassing incident during which he hit Amitabh Bachchan on the head. Speaking during an Indian Express event, Avinash shared that the incident took place during an action scene while they were shooting for the 2014 TV show Yudh.
Avinash said, “The first time we met we had to do an action sequence. I had at that point never done an action sequence in my life. In the scene, he had to punch me and I had to duck and give him back. Fortunately, I only hit him on his head but the embarrassment I felt at that time, I still haven’t recovered from it. It was pin-drop silence on the set and I went in for another punch because they didn’t say cut. It was the instinct of an actor that took over.”
“I walked up to him and said sorry. He said, ‘Yes you hit me on the head.’ I apologised and in my nervousness, I asked him if we should do a rehearsal and he, still holding the back of his head, looked at me like, ‘From where have you gotten this guy.’ He said, ‘But we will do it slowly.’ He told me that action is like choreography so just dance,” he added.
