New Delhi: A veteran director of Bollywood is famous for his misconduct. You can guess his richness from the fact that Nana Patekar started crying with his words amid the shooting of the film ‘Parinde’. When Amitabh Bachchan decided to make the film ‘Eklavya: The Royal Guard’ with him in 2007, Jaya Bachchan warned about the director’s behavior that he would not be able to withstand him for a week.

Jaya Bachchan’s prediction proved to be true and Amitabh Bachchan’s director Vidhu Vinod Chopra fought. However, Big B was sure of his commitment. He completed his shooting. Vidhu Vinod Chopra was so impressed by his passion that he gifted Rolls Royce, which was priced at Rs 4.5 crore, but this led the director of the director to get angry with him and gave him a slap receipt.

Vidhu Vinod’s mother became angry with him for the decision to gift Rolls Royce. He rebuked the director as he himself had a blue Maruti van. Vidhu Vinod cannot forget that incident. He said, ‘When I gifted the car to Amitabh, I took my mother with me. He gave the key of the car in his hand. (Photo courtesy: imDB)
While returning home with Vidhu, when her mother sat in a blue Maruti van, she asked, ‘Have you given him a car? ” The director agreed, so asked about the price of the car. When Vidhu told him that the price of the car is Rs 4.5 crore, he slapped the son and said- ‘Stupid’. Vidhu said, ‘I cannot forget it, because what does money mean if he cannot give you happiness.’ (Photo courtesy: imDB)
Vidhu’s ‘Eklavya’ was a multi -starrer film, besides Amitabh, besides Sharmila Tagore, Saif Ali Khan, Sanjay Dutt, Vidya Balan. The film was lazy at the box office, but critics praised it. India sent the film to the Oscar in the category of ‘Best Foreign Film’. (Photo courtesy: imDB)
