Showing up late in Bollywood has been linked several times to stardom. However, many bigwigs in the industry are quite particular about time. Recently, veteran actor Amol Palekar revealed how he was touched by Rajinikanth’s sweet gesture and three actors in B- town who were always on time.
Talking to Rajshri Unplugged, Amol Palekar recalled he was once shooting in the same studio as Amitabh Bachchan and Rajinikanth. The actor noticed that while Big B would always arrive on time, Rajinikanth would arrive even earlier. The actor said, “Amitabh always used to be on time, and Rajinikanth would arrive even earlier, ready with makeup. He would come and sit there with spot boys, light boys. He would sit with them on the bench and talk with them, have tea with them. And at the given time, if the shift is at 9, he would go up to the director at 9 and say, yes sir, I am ready.”
