Neeraj Chopra went on to explain that there are three grips while holding a javelin and also spoke about his preferred grip. He then said, “Main sir aapko phenk ke dikha deta lekin (Sir, I would have shown you how to throw, but…)” as he looked around the set and the audience.
Replying to Neeraj’s comment, Amitabh said, “Sir bilkul mat kijiyega (Sir please don’t do that).” After that, both of them burst out laughing.

As the video continued, a hockey goal post was installed to the set and both PR Sreejesh and Amitabh were given hockey sticks. Amitabh asked Sreejesh, “Yeh jis tarah se aap goal save karte hai yeh humko dikhayenge aap yaha (Will you show us how you keep goals)?”
As Amitabh Bachchan tried to score goals, Sreejesh initially blocked the strokes. However, after a few attempts, Amitabh managed to score a goal. He shouted with joy after his accomplishment.
In another promo video, Amitabh was left in splits as Neeraj Chopra delivered his line ‘Main aur meri tanhai’ from Silsila, giving it a Haryanvi.
At the recently concluded Tokyo Olympics, Neeraj Chopra won India’s first gold medal in the javelin throw. PR Sreejesh was part of the men’s hockey team which won the bronze medal.
