Abhishek Bachchan recalls shooting Guru with Mani Ratnam and facing one of the director's googlies

Recently, Abhishek Bachchan shared how his then-GF, Aishwarya helped him when Mani Ratnam threw one of his 'googlies' at him during the shoot of Guru. During his conversation at G5A Cinema House’s Mani Ratnam retrospective, Abhishek Bachchan walked down the memory lane and talked about the time when he was shooting for the movie, Guru.

Abhishek, along with Aishwarya arrived at Karnataka’s Badami in May for the shoot, and during a day off, Mani Ratnam arrived at their guest house and told the actor to rehearse for a song with the choreographer. Abhishek was shocked as they were supposed to shoot for a scene, and Mani Ratnam asked him to be prepared for a song. Sharing how Mani Ratnam's googly came along his way, Abhishek said:

"We were staying in a guest house and it was a day off. Mani came and said, ‘Brinda (choreographer Brinda Gopal) is there, go rehearse, we’re doing a song.’ I said, ‘We’re not supposed to be doing a song; we’re shooting Gurukant Desai’s younger portions.’ When I went down, Brinda master was standing there, totally flummoxed. That’s when I realised Mani had thrown one of his googlies.”

Aishwarya Rai stitched a suit for Abhishek Bachchan using Kambals

For the movie, Abhishek Bachchan had to put on weight, and he was given two months for the same. The movie featured the lead character's early and older ages, and the actor was yet to shoot some scenes from the younger portions. However, the song, for which Mani Ratnam was asking Abhishek to prepare needed the actor to look a bit heavier. Well, it was Aishwarya and the costume designer, who had to stitch a suit by using kambals the whole night, which the actor wore at 60 degrees Celsius. Abhishek can be quoted as saying:

"He had previously given me two months to gain weight. That night, I still remember, Ameira (costume designer Ameira Punvani) and Aishwarya made a fat suit for me by stitching kambals (blankets) together. Then they took some shady grey stuff and put it on my hair. He (Mani) was like, ‘shave your head’. I said, ‘But, we are still shooting the younger portions.’ Amid all this, I was performing to a click track.”
