Amitabh Bachchan Inspired by Son's Birth to Perform Tiger Stunt in 1976 Film
Stuntman Mohan Baggad recounted performing a dangerous stunt with an untrained tiger for Amitabh Bachchan's film Khoon Pasina in 1976. After Baggad's initial stunt work, Bachchan, motivated by the news of his son Abhishek's birth, decided to perform the tiger scene himself, saying, "Mere ghar pe ek sher paida hua hai." The tiger injured Baggad during filming, leaving lasting marks. The incident highlights the risks actors and stunt performers faced in earlier Hindi cinema.
