When Hrishikesh Mukherjee screamed at Amitabh Bachchan for his ‘unusually red lip’ during ‘Anand’ shoot

In the 1970s, Amitabh Bachchan, famous for his ‘angry young man’ roles, also showcased versatility in films with director Hrishikesh Mukherjee. While working on ‘Anand’, Bachchan faced scrutiny from the director and DOP for his naturally red lips, mistaking it for lipstick. Despite his clarifications, base makeup was applied to tone down their brightness. Bachchan humorously noted in his blog that even after decades, his lips continue to attract attention, reflecting on his unique journey in Bollywood.
