Earlier, at a masterclass session at the recent Ajanta Ellora International Film Festival, filmmaker R Balki spoke about the film and revealed Big B's reaction after he narrated the script of Cheeni Kum. He said, that when he completed the narration of the film, the megastar neither laughed nor enjoyed one joke in the script. Further citing the reason behind the same, he said, “I looked up, and he had this absolutely cold expression. Then I suddenly realized why he was looking at me like that. I was reading the whole script to him in his voice. I was imitating him. To behave like Bachchan to Bachchan is the biggest embarrassment in the world."
