Lage Raho Munna Bhai directed by Rajkumar Hirani was the first Indian film to be screened at the United Nations on November 10, 2006.
Actor Inder Kumar who died due to cardiac arrest in 2017 was bedridden for five years due to a broken vertebra. In 2002, he was shooting an action scene for the film Maseeha when he fell off from the helicopter. After recovering he could not revive his career but gave a noticeable performance in Wanted.
You must have noticed Amitabh Bachchan in Sharaabi where the actor’s left hand was almost always in his pocket. The reason was that his hand was injured when he burst a cracker in his hand. He lost his fingers and the treatment went along for more than a year. Still, the scars were visible and to avoid it showing onscreen, he gesticulated with his right hand.
The scene from Satte Pe Satta where Amitabh’s character (Babu) steps out of the jail is remembered for its background music. It is actually a gurgle sound. R.D. Burman made one of his assistants to gurgle and the output was mixed with light music.
The Pending Verdict is the first Bolly-Novella ever which is written keeping Amitabh Bachchan in mind where you have to visualize his character as a judge as he has never portrayed it onscreen. The book engages your first time visualization images of the character and gives the feel of a film. Attempts are being made to turn it into a Hindi film.
Divya Bharti acted in about 12 films is a single year which is a record till now.
Raj Kapoor's Sangam (1964) was the first film to be shot abroad. The film had had various scenes shot in Europe. The cinema goers at that time would queue up just to see the foreign locales in motion picture.
"Ghar Aaya Mera Pardesi" from Raj Kapoor’s Awara (1951) is considered the first dream sequence in an Indian Song, where the twirling clouds symbolize the conflicts going around in the mind of the lead character.
