Amitabh Bachchan opened up recently about the time when he was scolded by Vidhu Vinod Chopra for being late for shoot by 10 minutes. The two worked together on the 2007 actioner Eklavya: The Royal Guard.

Bachchan was having a conversation with Vikrant Massey who came on his show, Kaun Banega Crorepati 16, which is hosted by the former. Bachchan told Vikrant how tough Vidhu is. He said, “We were shooting for a film once, and it got very late in the night. We packed up around 3 am. After packing up, he asked me to come to set the next day at 6 am. I was surprised and told him, ‘Are you mad? After packing up so late you want me to come so early tomorrow?'”

The actor added, “However, I reached the set the next morning at 6.10 am. He scolded me in front of the whole crew, ‘you are ten minutes late!'” 

Vikrant worked with Vidhu for 12th Fail, which released last year. He said that it was his best working experience and praised the director for his filmmaking skills. He also revealed that when the film did better than expected, Vidhu gave rewards to the entire team.
