Big B didn't let me touch feet

The bonding between Bangla auteur Rituparno Ghosh and national icon Amitabh Bachchan in Kolkata on the sets of The Last Lear is now fodder for instant folklore.So amused and exasperated was the Big B by Ritu's physical makeover that he constantly ribbed the director about it. Fondly recalling the experience of working with what the director considers to be greatest entertainer in showbiz, Ritu says, "Amitda wouldn't let me hear the end of my physical change. You see, I've lost twelve kgs and I've shaved my head. Amitda nicknamed me 'Adolf' and insisted on holding on to a mock-mood of terror on the sets.
