While it’s a well-known fact that Abhishek Bachchan is a southpaw, nobody has ever faced any problems because of it, apart from the odd inconvenience that occurs when Junior Bachchan offers his left hand to shake. But when Abbas Mustan’s Players came along, it did create a major problem while filming the action scenes.
“For the climax of Players, they were filming an action packed scene amidst moving trains. The camera was placed to the right, and the frame was supposed to capture Abhishek punching in a code number. But as Abhishek would invariably use his left hand, the shoot kept going haywire,” says a unit member.
All of which created a massive delay. “Abhishek knew that the delay was happening because of him, but there was nothing he could do about it. he patiently cooperated with the team though,” the unit member adds.
