Lights, camera, cut for Amitabh Bachchan

Actor Amitabh Bachchan, who has been shooting an ad-film in Kutch for the past three days, began his day on Sunday by shooting in Prag Mahal, an old palace located in the heart of Bhuj city.

Accompanied by the top officials of state tourism, revenue and police departments, the megastar drove to Karo Dungar, the black hill of Kutch. At the hilltop, he had to shoot with foxes who gather there in the morning to eat the 'prasad' offered at the Guru Dattatrya temple.

Later, the film unit visited Hodko village, well-known for Meghwal
embroidery and leather work.An official source said that Bachchan was initially supposed to shoot at Dholavira, but since the site is 250 km away and as the roads between Rapar and Dholavira is in bad condition, the idea was dropped. However, shooting will take place at Dholavira, but without the Big B.

Kutchis did not get a chance to meet the superstar as he refused to meet anyone including the media. "Though, he shot at the Aina Mahal in Bhuj, he refused to meet Pragmalji-III of the royal family," said a source in TCGL. Similarly, the state tourism secretary Vipul Mitra turned down a request from the Maninagar Gadi Sansthan whose religious head Swami Purushottam Priyadasji Maharaj wanted to honour the superstar when he was shooting at the palace, adjacent to the Bhuj temple.

The megastar would be shooting at the ancient port town of Mandvi on Monday, which would be the last day of his four-day Kutch visit. He would be further travelling towards Saurashtra for the shooting.
