Big B, took to social media to share his feelings as he began working on Ajay Devgn's 'Mayday'. 

The actor took to Instagram to express that he was facing 'apprehension' on the first day of the shoot. 

“Dear Lord .. these first days on new films are always such a nightmare .. Petrified and in constant apprehension .. wondering what shall happen and if it happens will it be acceptable and passed .. Want to run away and hide,” he wrote, sharing a picture of him coming out of a car, dressed in a white sweatshirt and black pants.

On Twitter, Bachchan's co-star Rakul Preet Singh replied to the post stating that it is in fact she who should be feeling the jitters as she would be working with a stalwart like him. She wrote, "Sirrrrr yeh baat mujhe kehni chahiye (I should be the one saying this) soooo thrilled , nervous , excited to kickstart work with you."
