Kaalidhar Laapata: Madhumita Reveals Amitabh Bachchan's Reaction After Reading Script
In an exclusive interview to Zoom, director Madhumita shared Amitabh Bachchan's reaction and called it biggest blessings
Abhishek Bachchan starrer Kaalidhar Laapataa has been released on the OTT platform and is getting love from all corners. Recently, director Madhumita, known for her critically acclaimed film KD – The Devil, has shared Amitabh Bachchan's reaction after reading the script. She mentioned that the legend called it 'lovely." For the filmmaker, the reaction has been the most treasured reward so far.
In an exclusive conversation with Zoom, director Madhumita shared Amitabh Bachchan's reaction and said, 'Madhumita congratulations. I read the script. Abhishek told me about the film and it's a lovely script'. What other accolade or prize do you need to have? It was the biggest blessing and pat on the back."
'North Indians normally touch someone's feet with one hand (to show respect). They bend forward, and if you're giving respect to somebody, you touch their feet with one hand. But South Indians, what we do is we fall full on the floor. That's how we respect somebody. So I did that and Abhishek sir, till today, makes fun of me saying 'I thought you tripped and fell on your face because that's how you fell'. I told him, 'No sir, I wanted to touch his feet' because it was such a beautiful moment," she added.
Kaalidhar Laapata also stars Mohd Zeeshan Ayyub and promises an intense, emotional narrative packed with suspense.
Looking ahead, Abhishek will next be seen in the action-thriller King. Set for release in 2026, the film has already generated significant buzz thanks to its star-studded cast. The film will be headlined by Shah Rukh Khan as a powerful assassin entrenched in the criminal underworld. Abhishek joins Suhana Khan and Abhay Verma, while reports suggest that Deepika Padukone, Arshad Warsi, Rani Mukerji and Anil Kapoor have also been roped in for pivotal roles.
