On the India Today Unforgettables stage, Ranbir Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan discussed their experiences working on the sets of Black and some interesting tidbits were revealed about the film. Amitabh mentioned Black's dining room scene where his character Debraj Sahai, suffering from Alzheimer's disease, reads a letter. While Bhansali asked Ranbir to take note of Amitabh's fantastic acting in the scene, Big B pointed out a fundamental mistake in the scene. Ranbir said that he body-doubled for Amitabh Bachchan in a particular shot in Black (the only time Ranbir has body-doubled). Unbeknownst to Amitabh, in the opening credits sequence of Black, Ranbir appeared as Amitabh's character Debraj Sahni from behind because Big B's dates were not available.
