New Delhi: The actor’s style was strong even during Struggle days. After a lot of struggle, he got the role of Villain in Dev Anand’s film Prem Pujari. He was in the role of Pakistani Military Officer. It became so popular that he was offered Villain’s role in many films. However, he later started getting the role of Hero. His pairing with Amitabh Bachchan was a big hit in films, but he had a scuffle with Amitabh during the shooting of ‘Kala Patthar’. (Photo courtesy: imDB)
We are talking about Shatrughan Sinha. According to the IMDB report, all the films he appeared between 1970 and 1975 was flopped, but he did not want to play any character below the lead role. But due to his gurur, a film like ‘Sholay’ got out of his hand. (Photo courtesy: imDB)
Shatrughan Sinha had ever claimed that ‘Sholay’ and ‘Wall’ were offered to him earlier. Shatrughan Sinha said in a conversation with Rediff in 2000 that he had the role of Amitabh Bachchan in ‘Sholay’ earlier, but I did not do it. In those days I was working as a lead hero, so I did not want to work as a second lead. (Photo courtesy: imDB)
On Shatrughan Sinha’s refusal, the role was given to Amitabh Bachchan and all the other is history. Shatrughan Sinha probably did not learn from his mistake. Salim-Javed wrote the lead role in ‘Wall’ thinking Shatrughan Sinha. (Photo courtesy: imDB)
Shatrughan Sinha further said, ‘He kept lying to my producer for a long time. But, then there were some differences between Salim Khan and the producer and the film reached Yash Chopra, then Amitabh Bachchan got the lead role in the ‘wall’. (Photo courtesy: Instagram@shatrughansinhaofful)
There was a competition between Shatrughan Sinha and Amitabh Bachchan. Salim-Javed then wrote most of the hit films for Amitabh Bachchan. It was believed that the pair of writers used to support Amitabh Bachchan instead of Shatrughan Sinha. Salim-Javed also wrote films for Shatrughan Sinha, including films like ‘Kala Patthar’, ‘Shaan’, ‘Dostana’. But all these films were multi-starrer. (Photo courtesy: Instagram@shatrughansinhaofful)
The estrangement between Amitabh Bachchan and Shatrughna never diminished. According to the report of ABPLEV.com, Shatrughan Sinha had told in his biography that Big B did not want to work with him because she was meeting her. (Photo courtesy: imDB)
Amitabh Bachchan killed Shatrughan a lot amid the shooting of a scene of the film ‘Kala Patthar’. If Shashi Kapoor did not intervene, the matter would have worsened. Shatrughan Sinha impressed with his acting in films like ‘Mere Apne’, ‘Blackmail’, ‘Kala Patthar’ and ‘Dostana’. He made headlines due to films as well as his personal life. Even after marrying Poonam Sinha, her name continued to join Reena Roy. (Photo courtesy: imDB)
