BOLLYWOOD actor Amitabh Bachchan was the epitome of cool, despite being at the centre of a fire scare during filming of his new film Badla in Glasgow

Amitabh was surrounded by security who kept him safe from the hundreds of fans who were wanting to get selfies with him as he filmed round and about the City Chambers.  

Amitabh revealed in his personal diary of his trip that he had to evacuate one of the buildings after the fire alarm went off during filming. 

Posting up a picture of him on a Glasgow street, he said: “Not just a stroll on the premises... fire alarm and we are out… systems working doors fire precautions exercised and duly obeyed... so help me God!”

I met him at the Radisson Hotel where he was staying in between shoots. He was cool and collected, despite being mobbed by fans.
