BOMBAY TIMES (June 30, 2015)

Over four decades ago, Amitabh Bachchan's Vijay in Deewaar awed the audience as he sat with his feet on a chair, waiting for the goons who demanded 'hafta' from dockworkers. Interestingly, the legend struck the iconic Deewaar pose, coincidentally in the same studio, the other day. Sharing the image on his microblogging page, the Big B posted, “Ok what is so unique about this picture..??? The first and young picture is from DEEWAAR just before the godown fight.. it was shot in studio 1 (at a studio in Parel, Mumbai).. around 1974/75. The second one is a picture of me, in present time 2015, when I was shooting in the same studio same floor at the same site for an ad, and just purely by chance they captured me when I had put my feet up at the same spot where so many years ago the shot was taken .. !!!!! A picture with a history .. same spot same pose same location same studio .. a coincidence of 41 years !!! (sic)““
