Did Dimple Kapadia ever act with Amitabh Bachchan in any films?

 Dimple Kapadia and Amitabh Bachchan were the lead pair in Shashi Kapoor & Gennady Vasilyev directed film Ajooba.

This was the first time they were paired together. Ajooba is a fantasy film about a masked prince who returns to his fantasy homeland to fight an evil ruler, save his family and restore justice to the kingdom.

Dimple was also seen with Amitabh in Mrityudaata. Amitabh had gone completely bankrupt at that time and Mrityudaata too bombed at the box-office. At that time Dimple repeatedly called and sent her secretary to Amitabh's office and home to demand her pending acting fees.

After more than a decade, Amitabh and Dimple Kapadia were again seen together in Hum Kaun Hai.

The film is a supernatural mystery thriller about spooky and mysterious events happening in a house. Dimple was also seen in Bramhastra-1 where she gives a blink-and-you-miss sort of appearance.

The two were also supposed to be paired in Manmohan Desai’s “Mard” which Dimple Kapadia refused due to disagreements over expected remenuration and chose to do Paatal Bhairavi instead.

Years later she called herself crazy and stupid to do Paatal Bhairavi just for the sake of money and miss out on Mard.

How did Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bahaduri meet and fell in love?

 Jaya first saw Amitabh at the Pune Film Institute and was impressed by him as Harivansh Rai Bachchan's son.

Both of them developed deep affection for each other during the filming of Guddi where Hrishikesh Mukherjee formally introduced them on the set. Amitabh was originally cast as the main lead in Guddi and even shot for 10 days.

Their on-set romance grew during the making of Ek Nazar where they starred together as romantic leads.

Jaya was the first to recognise their budding love while Amitabh began truly realising his deep affection for her during the production of this film.

Both were already in love and deeply committed during the shooting of Zanjeer. It was a male-centric film and Jaya accepted the film partly as an excuse to spend more time with Amitabh. During the breaks on the sets of Zanjeer they used to spend time together and grew closer during their courtship.

Zanjeer released and was a blockbuster. A celebratory trip to London was planned with Jaya and friends which would have been Amitabh's first-ever trip abroad. Amitabh's father (Harivansh Rai Bachchan) insisted that they marry before going to London.

It was a swift decision. They married at a simple private ceremony at Jaya's home followed by their London trip that very night.

What are some unknown and dark secrets about the life of Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan?

 His name appeared twice in the PANAMA PAPERS.

He used his political influence to ban STARDUST, and the entire press declared that they will boycott the star. On the contrary Bachchan said that he had stopped the press to enter the sets till 1989 but when press covered the coolie issue he thanked them and things got sorted out.

Once he went to meet his father Harivanshrai Bachchan who was admitted in Breach Candy but did not met Mehmood who was admitted on the same floor.

His film INQUILAB and Rajesh Khanna's film AAJ KA MLA RAM AVTAAR were on the same theme.

He used his influence to get his film cleared from Censor Board through Delhi and suceeded in doing so. However both films flopped.

He had a good relationship with Kadar Khan but during his political reign Kadar Khan was told by his colleagues to address him SIR. Amitabh said Kadar Khan that this is politics and if you stand against me I will even speak against you. From that day Kadar Khan maintained distance from Amitabh.

Amitabh is known for using people in his bad times but does not reciprocate the same. Amar Singh is an example.

Just for a small misunderstanding with Mithun he refused to work with him in JAADUGAR and told Prakash Mehra to show him the way out. The role was then played by Aditya Pancholi.

He sent a legal notice to KUMAR Vishwas of AAP PARTY because he recited a few lines of Harivanshrai Bachchan's poem on you tube. Kumar Vishwas sent him a cheque of 32 rupees that he had earned from that content.

How did Abhishek Bachchan convince Amitabh Bachchan to do the song 'Kajra Re' in the film 'Bunty Aur Bubli'?

 From the very beginning Amitabh was very skeptical about the “Kajre Re” song. When he heard it, he straightaway told it will not work and suggested not to shoot it. Director Shaad Ali requested him to give it a proper listening.

He even refused to dub his portions in the song and insisted Shankar Mahadevan to do it. Also he was reluctant to share the screen with both, his son and his future daughter-in-law Aishwarya Bachchan in a glamourous, commercial dance number. However, he was convinced by Abhishek Bachchan.

Further, Abhishek fostered a comfortable and enthusiastic atmosphere on set, despite Amitabh's initial reluctance to dance with him and Aishwarya. The light heartedness on the set, the discussions and the laughter did the rest. While shooting it, Amitabh commented that the song will be a “national rage”.

The song is choreographed by Vaibhavi Merchant and was indeed a massive hit.

What did Shashi Kapoor see in Amitabh Bachchan that led him to advise against taking minor roles early in Bachchan’s career?

 This incident happened on the sets of Merchant Ivory productions Bombay Talkies in 1970.

Shashi Kapoor was the lead actor of the film and this was the time when Amitabh Bachchan was struggling as an actor to get work. Amitabh Bachchan tells us that he was told that he has to be part of the crowd and he will be paid for that so he agreed our of desperation even though he was playing an extra in the crowd. In the film’s last scene when Shashi Kapoor’s funeral scene was picturised Amitabh was part of the crowd. So the crowd scenes were shot without Shashi Kapoor.

When Shashi Kapoor came to set, he was surprised to see Amitabh Bachchan there. He asked him what is he doing there? Amitabh told him he is working as extra for some money. Shashi Kapoor became livid and he scolded Amitabh that he should not ruin his career by doing bit roles as he is meant for bigger things given his performance in his debut film Saat Hindustani which had fetched him a National Award. So why should he work as an extra? Shashi Kapoor got that scene removed from the film.

It was not just Shashi Kapoor but the great director Hrishikesh Mukherjee who believed that Amitabh Bachchan was meant for bigger things. During the same time Amitabh Bachchan was signed by Mukherjee for Guddi, even though it was a heroine centric role and the make lead was a small role. A few months later Amitabh’s and Mukherjee’s film Anand released and became a cult film. Hrishikesh Mukherjee realised that Amitabh has much more potential which should not be wasted in a small role like Guddi. So he asked him to leave the film and do bigger films (Hrishikesh Mukherjee eventually gave him many defining roles of his career including Namak Haraam, Abhimaan, Chupke Chupke etc).

Why is it difficult to compare Shahrukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan despite both being major figures in Bollywood?

 First let me tell you some intersting similarities in their career.

Amitabh started his career with an art film Saat Hindustani which won National awards. SRK started his career with Tv artsy TV movies like In Which Annie Gives it Those Ones and Idiot which won National Awards.

Amitabh got his first hit in a supporting role for which he got a filmfare award- Anand (1971)

SRK got his first hit in a supporting role for which he got a filmfare award- Deewana (1992)

Amitabh got his first Blockbuster in a serious film which won a Filmfare for Best screenplay and which got him his first filmfare nomination for Best Actor - Zanjeer (1973). The same year he got another filmfare nomination and won the award.(Namak Haraam)

SRK got his first Blockbuster in a serious film which won a Filmfare for Best Screenplay and which got him his first nomination for Best Actor - Baazigar (1993, unlike Amitabh he won it). He was nominated and won another filmfare the same year (Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa).

2 years after his first Blockbuster Amitabh got two major Blockbusters one as a two hero film (Sholay). Sholay became one of the bigst actor gest hits of all time and Deewar also became a massive blockbuster. He has a moderate hit Chupst Actor ke Chupke.

2 years after his first Blockbuster SRK delivered two major Blockbusters one as a two herso film (Karan Arjun). DDLJ became one of the biggest hits of all time and Karan Arjun also became a massive Blockbuster. He has a moderate hit Ram Jaane

2 years later he got a major Blockbuster Amar Akbar Anthony. He followed it with another blockbuster Muqaddar ka Sikandar and Don and Trishul. He won filmfare awards for best actor both the years.

Similarly SRK got a major Blockbuster Dil to Pagal hai and some hits Pardes and Yes Boss and eventually have another big Blockbuster Kuch Kuch hota hai. He won filmfares for two consecutive years.

These similarities can go on and on. The point is both these actors have immense popularity as they both changed the way cinema was made in a major way. Amitabh Bachchan brought the era of Angry Young man where anger, class conflict, violence was supreme and music became less important. SRK on the other hand broke the the trope of violence, r**e scenes and introduced family films with romance and no villains.

Amitabh was a mass hero, SRK was more of multiplex, urban class herman took over. o. Amitabh was copied extensively by South stars like Rajnikanth and amassed pan-Indlean ian following. SRK became popular among the youth and the NRI audience.lean phase, was a phenomenon in countries like Ethiopia and Algeria, and SRK was instrumental in reviving the overseas market of Indian films. His overseas popularity is next to no one even now. Amitabh became the number one star in 1975 and constantly remained number 1 till 1991 after which he was replaced by the new generation. SRK became number 1 for the first time in 1995 after DDLJ but he had to compete with Aamir, Salman and Sunny for the number 1 slot. He was number 1 prominently till 2007 after which Aamir and then Salman Khan.

After a lean phase Amitabh Bachchan made a comeback as character actor with Mohabbatein and hosted the hugely popular KBC. SRK after his lean phase made a comeback as lead actor with pathaan and Jawaan.

Amitabh has been a failure as a producer with his ABCL which bankrupted him. SRK has produced most of his films under his own banner and has been more successful than Amitabh. However SRK has been a failure as a host on TV. As an actor SRK may have worked great in TV but as a host his shows like Paanchvi Paas, Zor ka Jhatka, Sabse Shana Kaun had all failed. Even his season of KBC was also moderate only.

The two superstars cannot be compared because of different styles of acting (Amitabh being a much superior actor), personality (SRK is brilliant and witty orator, Amitabh is also well in articulation but SRK can win any debate), filmography (Amitabh has experimented a lot with his film in his second innings, SRK has by and large remained in his comfort zone and his experimental films haven't worked for him). The comparison between the two is like comparing apples and oranges. See the way both actors have approached Don (both have done very well but they are not the same character really the way they have presented it).
