Sujoy Ghosh revealed that Amitabh Bachchan's constant rehearsals during 'Badla' left Taapsee Pannu so exhausted that she "nearly fainted in a corner". "But sir insisted, 'Let's do this,' and kept rehearsing," he said in a chat with Mashable India. Sujoy said Amitabh was probably rehearsing for the 16th or 17th time for the particular scene.
