Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra played the film's leads, solidifying their place in the film industry for all time. However, before its enormous success, the movie didn't do well when it initially debuted in theatres. Ramesh Sippy called an urgent meeting with Salim Khan, Javed Akhtar, and Amitabh Bachchan, as revealed in the documentary Angry Young Men.

Salim disclosed in the series that Javed contacted him to let him know he was terminating the partnership. While both of them had maintained that they drifted apart, Javed has now disclosed that he sensed a "fatigue" in their work and determined it was time for them to move away.

Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar dedicated an enormous amount of focus on "the mother factor" in their highly regarded films, Trishul, Shanti, and Deewar. This may have been triggered by the fact that Salim and Javed both lost their mothers when they were very young, as mentioned in their Prime Video documentary Angry Young Men.

Explore the story of 'Deewaar', the film that catapulted Amitabh Bachchan to stardom, remaining in theatres for nearly two years and grossing Rs 7.5 crore at the box office, becoming a landmark in Indian cinema.

In an old interview Shashi Kapoor revealed how he was lucky enough to escape the casting couch, which was not termed so at the time. However there are actors like Sanjay Khan and Dharmendra who might have experienced it.

Shashi Kapoor was an Indian actor and film producer who is best known for his work in Hindi films. A recipient of several accolades, including National Film Awards and Filmfare Awards, he also featured in a number of English-language international films.

Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan recently received a lot of appreciation and acclaim from critics and the audiences for Jhund. The film, written and directed by Nagraj Manjule, otherwise known for Sairat, is based on the fascinating story of Vijay Barse.
