Big B’s Jaisalmer visit ended drought:’His visit brought rain in town’, Director Lakhia recalls locals worshipping Amitabh Bachchan as divine saviour

Director Apoorva Lakhia said that people in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan consider Amitabh Bachchan as their god. He said that after Big B's arrival, the drought in that city ended, after which people lined up to touch his feet. During a conversation on Friday Talkies podcast, Apoorva Lakhia said, 'Abhishek Bachchan and I were shooting for 'Mumbai Se Aaya Mera Dost' in Jaisalmer. There was a drought at that time. Amitabh Bachchan was coming there for New Year. Jaya ji, Shweta, Amar Singh were with him. You could see their convoy coming from far away because no one in Jaisalmer had ever seen so many luxury cars together.' Apoorva said that as soon as Bachchan ji's convoy arrived near the set, dark clouds suddenly started gathering in the sky. As soon as he got out of the car and hugged Abhishek, it started raining. Apoorv said, 'It rained so heavily that the rivers were flooded. Our entire village was destroyed. Since then, about 40,000-50,000 people would come outside the hotel to touch their feet, because they thought God had arrived. There was no water in Jaisalmer. But after their arrival, the rivers were flooded. I saw this with my own eyes.'Original Article by Dainik Bhaskar
