In 1982, while filming a fight scene in ‘Coolie’, Amitabh Bachchan suffered a near fatal intestinal injury, leading to several months of hospitalisation. Due to this incident the film’s ending was changed. Initially, BigB’s character was supposed to die, but after the incident, the ending was modified to keep BigB’s character alive. This was because the director of the movie Manmohan Desai felt it would be inappropriate to kill off Amitabh Bachchan’s character after the actor had managed to fight off death in real life.

Aamir Khan
