What was Dev Anand's mistake?
Vishnu Sharma tells that dev anand had also made a big mistake in his life. It is said that due to this mistake Amitabh Bachchan came into the film industry. Dev Anand's one 'no' made an actor a superstar. Actually Dev Anand had refused to work in the film 'Zanjeer'. Later amitabh bachchan was signed in this film. This film made amitabh a superstar overnight. Although amitabh was working in films even before this, he did not get the success that he got from this film.
Vishnu Sharma says that in those days dev anand was not particularly interested in romance. Till then he had mostly worked in detective and fighting films. The special thing is that Prakash Mehra had written this film especially keeping dev anand in mind. Still, he refused to work in this film.
