Amitabh Bachchan Did Not Charge A Single Penny For His Next Film, Deets Inside
Over the years, the legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan has won the hearts of the audiences with his impactful performances as an actor and as a host. Though the Piku actor is one of the highest-paid actors in the film industry, he has reportedly done his next film titled Chehre for free. Bachchan was so impressed with the script of the movie that he did the film for free and even took care of travel expenses on his own.
The producer of Chehre, Anand Pandit is all praises for the actor. He revealed that for tax reasons, Amitabh Bachchan has been credited for a ‘friendly appearance’ in the film. He also said that the actor was so committed that he even bore the expenses of his chartered flights to international shooting locations on his own.
On being asked about Amitabh Bachchan not charging a single penny for Chehre, Anand Pandit told a publication, “To avoid any trouble while filing the tax books we decided to give the friendly appearance credits to Amit Ji.” He added, “Sir was so professional and committed that he also put his own money to commute.”

The director of the film, Rumi Jafry also spoke about casting Amitabh in a recent interview with a leading daily. He said, “After we finalised Amitabh Bachchan for Chehre, we started looking for other actors. I was looking for the second lead and Emraan fit right into the character I had envisioned. Even though I had never worked with him before, I had heard a lot about him in the industry. He is truly like Amit ji when it comes to professionalism–dedicated, hardworking and allows nothing to interfere with his work. He is very involved in the work he does. I wanted somebody just like him. When I approached him with Chehre, he, too, loved his character and was happy to come on board. Emraan’s work has turned out to be even better than I expected.”
