Why Dharmendra left the role of ‘Zanjeer’? Bobby Deol opened the big secret of Bollywood history
New Delhi:
Recently, Bobby Deol revealed a historical moment of Bollywood, when his father and veteran actor Dharmendra left the 1973 superhit film ‘Zanjeer’. This film made Amitabh Bachchan a superstar. In an interview to Suno India, Bobby told that there was an emotional and family reason behind Dharmendra’s decision. Bobby told that Dharmendra had to work first in ‘Zanjeer’, but due to a close relative of him, he had to leave the film.
Bobby said, “We had a cousin sister, who had some controversy with the film’s director Prakash Mehra ji. One day she came to our house and said to Papa,” I swear, if you did this film then you will see my corpse. “” This emotional thing affected Dharmendra that he left the film for honor of the family. Bobby also told about his father’s kind nature. He said that Dharmendra had done a film like ‘Satyakam’ for his brother -in -law. Apart from this, when his brother -in -law needed money, Dharmendra gave him about 25 lakh rupees. Bobby said, “I don’t remember the right amount, but my father always helps others.” These things show that family and friends were always the first for Dharmendra.
Let us tell you that ‘Zanjeer’ was directed by Prakash Mehra and it was written by famous writer couple Salim-Javed. When Dharmendra left this film, Amitabh Bachchan got this role. The success of this film made Amitabh famous as ‘Angry Young Man’ and his pairing with Salim-Javed gave many hits in Bollywood. Dharmendra’s renunciation may suffer at that time, but it inadvertently changed the history of Bollywood. This story of Dharmendra tells that he is not only a great actor, but is also a person who gives the most importance to his family and relationships.
