Amitabh Bachchan was there at the launch event of the Ramesh Sippy Academy of Cinema & Entertainment in Mumbai University. Big B and Ramesh Sippy collaborated for the cult film Sholay which is still loved by the younger generations. 

At the event, Big B revealed that it took 3 years to shoot a particular scene. He said, "I wonder if you remember a scene in Sholay where Jaya (Bachchan) had to light a lamp in the corridor, and I am sitting in the outhouse playing the mouth organ. There was particular kind of lighting that was required for the shot. Our DOP, Mr Divecha, was keen to take the shot at the time of sunset. You would not believe that Ramesh ji spent almost three years before we finally got that shot."

Senior Bachchan added, "Every time we would go to enact that sequence, something would not be right with the lighting. And Ramesh ji said ‘until we get a correct light, we are not going to shoot this’. We waited for three years for one flash of a shot for the film."

Big B and Ramesh Sippy were indulged in a conversation and were captured by the lenses. He even lit the lamp at the event. Sippy's wife Kiran Juneja accompanied her husband to the event. Others spotted were Juhi Chawla who looked pretty in her traditional avatar, Bhagyashree sported a casual look and Siddharth Roy Kapur.
