He disclosed that while he was unavailable, Amitabh Bachchan requested him to work as an action director for the movie War. “After four days, I receive a call from the director of war,” said Sham Kaushal. When I told him that I had other jobs to complete, Amitabh ji took the phone and stated, “I will change our date if you fail to show up.” Only if you offer me your date will I take action. Receiving this from such a popular actor made me very thrilled. When I requested that my driver halt the car, I began to believe that Amitabh ji had plans to change our date. His love for his work surprised me.
Amitabh Bachchan was praised
