It has been 42 years since the accident on Coolie movie sets happened. During the shooting of Manmohan Desai and Prayag Raj’s movie, Amitabh Bachchan and Puneet Issar had to perform a fight scene. However, the scene got so intense that instead of falling onto a table, Big B hit the table’s edge and suffered an abdominal injury. The injury was so deep that doctors declared Amitabh clinically dead. The megastar was in critical condition for months until he recovered and returned home on August 2. A lot of Big B fans celebrate that day as his second birthday.
