Megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who is in the City of Joy for the shooting of his upcoming film "TE3N", says he spent a day "hiding" from the crowd here.
Big B took to his blog late Friday night and posted: "The entire day has been one of 'hiding'... hiding from the crowds so I could merge with the local scenario and become that one ordinary man on the streets of Kolkata."
Adding that a lot of planning was involved to make it all happen, the 73-year-old actor shared: "There has been some wonderful planning for the shoots that surreptitiously happen on the streets with actors and actresses... but when it is accomplished say to yourself, then it was wonderful that it was done."
He was specifically all praise for the people of Kolkata.
"The people of Kolkata, these well educated and aware people of Kolkata, have great manners and awareness of anything that is everything... such a delight to be in their midst."
