 SPOILER: The assassination attempt sequence produced grave dangers  for the cast during shooting. While running amidst a herd of 400  camels, Amitabh Bachchan (qv) got kicked in the head by an  especially furious camel. It was only due to the heavy turban he was  wearing that Bachchan was able to survive with nothing more than a  little dizziness in his head. Jackie Shroff (qv) was standing only  a few inches away from the rails when the train passed by him. For  the attempt on the King, the action director, Tinnu Verma (qv),  decided to use a real bullet for authenticity, despite  Boman Irani (qv)’s misgivings about it. Unfortunately, the bullet  was off target and missed Bomans ear by a whisker. He was later  heard swearing over and over that he would never do anything like  that again.
