# Amitabh Bachchan did tiger stunt after son Abhishek was born 2026-08-09T10:55:20+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Amitabh Bachchan insisted on performing a dangerous tiger stunt in the 1976 film ‘Khoon Pasina’ after learning his son Abhishek had been born. Veteran action master Mohan Baggad recalled the incident, saying Bachchan declared, "A lion has been born in my house" and stepped in to shoot the scene himself. Baggad had been performing the sequence for two days. The tiger had no training and its mouth was stitched shut, which made it aggressive. Baggad said the animal knocked him unconscious during the shoot. He also revealed that Dharmendra did a leopard stunt in ‘Kartavya’ without a body double. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: 1970s Bollywood, Amitabh Bachchan, Hindi cinema, Khoon Pasina, Mohan Baggad, stunt work Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/amitabh-bachchan-did-tiger-stunt-after-son-abhishek-was-born/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
