In the upcoming weekend episode, the singing reality show Indian Idol Season 12 will welcome the legendary Bollywood star Shatrughan Sinha along with his beloved wife Poonam Sinha.
Judge Himesh Reshammiya will be seen revealing some trivia and unknown facts from the film journey of Shatrughan Sinha.
When asked about the real reason for not taking up ‘Sholay’ by Himesh Reshammiya, Shatrughan Sinha said, “You can call it a ‘human error.’ Ramesh Sippy saab used to make great films and he made Sholay which became a blockbuster and was praised by world’s renowned filmmaker, Bharat Ratna and Oscar winner Late Satyajit Ray Saab who liked this film the most.”
He further adds, “During those times, I was continuously shooting for films which had two heroes and, somehow, we can call it a human error or my dates were an issue due to which I couldn’t sign the film Sholay. I’m sad but happy at the same time as due to Sholay, National icon Amitabh Bachchan, who is my dear friend, got such a big break.”
Talking further about the issue with availability of dates he shared, “Certain rejections of films occur due to date issues. Even Amitabh Bachchan wanted to do ‘KaliCharan’ but he couldn’t do it for a reason. It’s generic in nature, even Rajesh Khanna, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Sunny Deol must have rejected films for several reasons. Its habitual nature wise.”
