Amitabh Bachchan: I hope I never have to feel fulfilled in my work

I had always nurtured the idea of doing a television serial at some point in my career. So when the opportunity came, I readily agreed. Actually agreed would be wrong because it was something that was initiated by me. I sought to do a TV serial, shared the thought with a few like-minded people and fructified it. Yudh is the end result of that exercise.TV is no beast. It’s a fascinating medium and one that has been most welcoming as far as I am concerned. Any creative work needs dedication, time and concentrated association.

As far as pace and content are concerned, we had already taken care of it by mutually deciding that Yudh will be a finite series — it will have a beginning, a middle and an end. And the process in doing so was planned out in advance. We decided to shoot the required episodes even before its first broadcast, in order that the pressures of time do not weigh upon us. I am unaware of how others work but this has been our method. I have found it to be most convenient, challenging and enjoyable.
