Kamal Haasan shared that he worked as an assistant director on one of Amitabh Bachchan's most successful film, Sholay, in 1975. But he had to wait for three weeks until he got the tickets to watch the now cult film. The Indian 2 actor added that, given that memory, he couldn't imagine getting an FDFS ticket from Big B. He was quoted as saying:
"I wish this had happened four to five decades ago as I waited for three weeks to watch Sholay. I hope there are many more fans who must be waiting for weeks to see the film like I did for Sholay. I never thought I'll get the first day first show ticket from Mr Amitabh Bachchan. I was a film technician, and now I'm an actor, and nothing much has changed."
During the launch event of Kalki 2898 AD, Kamal Haasan recalled his experience of working as an Assistant Director on Sholay. He shared that he could not sleep the night when he saw the film. Kamal added that he hated the film and said the same to its filmmaker. He added:
"For those who remember Sholay with nostalgia, I was an assistant director. And, I couldn't sleep that night when I saw Sholay. First, I hated the film so much, I hated the filmmaker even more. And I had the opportunity of working with that great filmmaker and I told him that that was my reaction when I saw the film. As a technician, I couldn't sleep that night, and that's the kind of movie… many such movies Amit ji has done."
