Ever since the lockdown was imposed, Amitabh Bachchan was staying at home. However, he shot promotional content for the quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati lately apart from other projects at his residence, and hence, came in contact with the production crew who visited his place. Abhishek Bachchan, meanwhile, had been snapped at a dubbing studio several times over the past week, where he was wrapping up the Amazon Prime series Breathe Into The Shadows.

Amitabh Bachchan, one of the world’s most famous filmstars, was last seen in Shoojit Sircar’s comedy-drama Gulabo Sitabo co-starring Ayushmann Khurrana. The film released on Amazon Prime Video in June this year.
