Megastar Amitabh Bachchan reveals actress Smita Patil had a bad dream about him a day before he met with a major accident on the sets of his 1983 hit 'Coolie'.

The 73-year-old actor suffered a near-fatal accident while shooting an action scene for Manmohan Desai's 'Coolie' in Bangalore in 1982, which took him several months to fully recover. Bachchan shared the anecdote at the laucnh of Maithili Rao's book - "Smita Patil: A Brief Incandescence", on Saturday in Mumbai, to mark the actress' 60th birth anniversary.

"I was in Bangalore shooting for 'Coolie' once. Late into the night at around 2 am I received call in my hotel room. The receptionist informed me that it was Smita Patil on the line. I was shocked as I had never spoken or talked to her at such a time. Thinking that it would be important one, I answered," Bachchan said. "Smita asked me if I was alright and in good health. I answered yes and she said that she just had a bad dream about me and that's the reason behind calling up so late in the night. The next day I had my accident," he said.
