Big B, who has cut down on his assignments post his surgeries in February this year, was spotted at the concluding day of the Vidhu Vinod Chopra festival in Mumbai.
The superstar, who was busy signing autographs, said that he was "cautioned" by wife Jaya about the "volatile temper" of producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra when he was signed up for 2007 film Eklavya.
"When I told Jaya I was working with Vidhu Vinod Chopra, she nodded silently, which is an indicator of things to come. When the time came for me to go for outdoor shoot, I told Jaya I am going, she asked how long I will be away, I said, a month. She said, I will see you back in three days. She told me he (Chopra) abuses, shouts and screams... this is not going to suit your temperament, and that I will be back in three days," the 69-year-old actor said in a lighter vein.
Big B also expressed his desire to work with Vidhu Vinod Chopra again. "It took 30 years for him to give me a voice-over in his film Parineeta. He is persistent and every year he used to come but finally Eklavya happened. Hope he does not take another 30 years to cast me," he said.
The journalists present were most interested in getting the proud granddad to confirm Beti B's name. Big B said, "We will talk about it sometime later...not now."
