Cricket used to be a favourite pastime of superstar Amitabh Bachchan and child artist Aman Siddiqui on the sets of Bhoothnath .
‘Bhoothnath’ is not the first time Big B and Aman are teaming up. They have previously rubbed their shoulders together in television commercials. Aman also played a small role as the kid Saif Ali Khan with Big B in Eklavya .
And when they got together again for ‘Bhoothnath’, the sexagenarian superstar and the 9-year-old got along like a house on fire.
“He (Big B) is very nice person. There is a very good understanding between us. Even in outdoor shooting locales, he kept me busy with his humorous jokes,” Aman is quoted by a news agency.
The two co-stars also bonded over the game of cricket.
“Our favourite pastime was cricket. He plays it with much intensity and seriousness,” says Aman.
Apart from this working with Big B proved to be learning experience for Aman.
“He used to teach me how not to go outside shooting camera frame,” says the little wonder.
Directed by Vivek Sharma, ‘Bhoothnath’ has Amitabh Bachchan playing a ghost and Aman playing a naughty kid who befriends the ghost.
