Amithab-technology

Technology has eased the predicament of actors who enjoy delivering a scene in one take, says megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who says there’s “immense satisfaction” in living a scene in “one stroke”. The 71-year-old shared some photographs from the set of “Yudh”, which marks his debut in the fiction space on TV, and pondered over how technology has turned out to be a boon to those in his field.

Talking about the experience of shooting for TV, Amitabh posted on his blog, “It is quite challenging to be in character and do an entire scene comprising several pages of dialogue, movement, introduction of other characters, camera movements, covering large areas of space on set. But at the end of it there is immense satisfaction of having lived that scene in one stroke… unlike at other times when we would have to do a few lines and cut for different angles and positioning of artists.

He said the challenge in shooting a scene with a break is the “effort required to get back to the same mood again and again after a break, is at times not just enough but also at times hampering the final output”. Directed by Ribhu Dasgupta, “Yudh” is likely to go on air in July on Sony. It also stars Sarika and Kay Kay Menon.
