Amitabh Bachchan has been enjoying the success of his most recent release, Jhund. The film has garnered a lot of positive feedback. In the film, Big B plays a coach who encourages slum kids to take up the sport. Many of the actors in the films were believed to be facing the camera for the first time. 

The megastar spoke about a number of aspects pertaining to the film in a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, one of which was about an instant with which even Big B was taken aback by.

The actors that played the young footballers were chosen from the slums and given acting classes before the shoot began. Talking about one of the most unforgettable moments on the sets of Jhund, Amitabh Bachchan mentioned that there is a scene where the youngsters are in tears.

Before this scene was filmed, one of the kids came up to him and asked ‘Sir rote kaise hai?’ (How does one cry?). Big B noted that there is a lot of sadness in this and that his circumstances, the manner he lived, and the environment he grew up in were probably so terrible that he was beyond sobbing. This moment, according to Big B, stayed with him for a long time.

Amitabh Bachchan even went on to praise the young kids. The veteran actor said, 

"But really, the praiseworthy portion of the film is the youngsters that have performed in it- the boys from the slum. They have been absolutely exceptional in terms of their talent. They were so natural."

The film, directed by Nagraj Manjule, tracks the story of the real-life coach Vijay Barse, who pioneered Slum Soccer in India. The film released on March 4 in theatres.
