Actor Siddhant Chaturvedi, who will next be seen in action thriller "Yudhra", on Thursday said megastar Amitabh Bachchan is the "biggest action hero" Hindi cinema has ever produced. Citing the example of 1975`s "Deewar", the actor said Bachchan would fight with his eyes first and legs later. Action always rooted in drama for him, added Chaturvedi.
"I never enjoy action where there is only beating. There should be a purpose or some story to it. The biggest action hero we`ve ever had is Mr Amitabh Bachchan. Whenever I would watch `Deewar`, I would think it is an action film. "But, if you notice there was only one action (scene) in the film... For me, it`s the intensity, angst... There should be a fire inside... Like Mr. Bachchan who fights with his eyes. He`s got a long leg but the kick came late. It`s his eyes first," he told reporters.
