This movie was rejected by Jeetendra, another superstar did it, became huge blockbuster, earned Rs..., lead actor is...

Far from the typical city sets and bustling studios, a cinematic journey unfolded in the serene outskirts of Nepal. At its center was a beloved megastar, not once or twice, but thrice, portraying three distinct characters that added layers to an already intriguing storyline. This film, blending drama with suspense, kept its narrative close to nature and away from mainstream locations, making it visually and emotionally unique. With the actor's triple avatar stealing the show, it became a talking point among cinephiles. One Of The Finest Experiments In The History Of Indian Cinema: Mahaan Here we are talking about 1983 film, Mahaan, starring the legendary superstar, Amitabh Bachchan. This film is still a topic of discussion among cinema lovers. In this film, Amitabh played the only triple role of his career, which surprised the audience. Mahaan was an action-thriller-comedy film, directed by S. Ramanathan and produced by Satyanarayana and Suryanarayana. It was an official remake of the 1978 Kannada film Shankar Guru, starring legendary actor Late Dr. Rajkumar. The film featured stars like Waheeda Rehman, Zeenat Aman, Late Parveen Babi, Late Ashok Kumar, Late Amjad Khan and Late Kader Khan. But did you know that Amitabh was not the first choice for the makers? Mahaan Initially Offered To Jumping Jack Of Bollywood, Jeetendra Bollywood's 'Jumping Jack,' Jeetendra, was initially offered a triple role for the film, but due to his busy schedule, Amitabh was chosen. The story of the film was a mix of a lawyer's life, crime and family drama. Although some critics criticized it for over-acting and weak direction but, for Amitabh's fans, this film was a unique example of his acting. Mahaan further strengthened Amitabh's star power in that era, and even today it is counted among the memorable films of his career. The Bugdet Of This Experimental Triple Treble Mahaan was made on a budget of only Rs 3 crore, which was a moderate budget for those times. But the film did wonders at the box office and grossed around Rs 8 crore. The film was a golden jubilee hit in South India and achieved silver jubilee status in the rest of India. R.D. Burman's music also added to the popularity of the film, with songs like 'Pyar Mein Dil Pe Maar De Goli', 'Ye Din Toh Aata Hai Ek Din Jawaani Mein' and 'Jidhar Dekhoon Teri Tasveer' still remembered today by retro lovers. Interestingly, a part of the film was shot in Nepal, where a crowd of thousands gathered to see the 'Mahanayak of Indian Cinema.' The beautiful valleys of Nepal made the film more attractive, especially its climax shots.

This actor made his acting debut with Sunil Dutt, became a style icon, married twice, left Bollywood due to..., he was...

At a time when his charm ruled the silver screen and his films were constant hits, this charismatic superstar made a decision that shocked many. Known for his striking looks and effortless acting, he had become a household name, admired by fans and filmmakers alike. But just when the spotlight was brightest, he quietly stepped away from the glitz of Bollywood. No farewell, no big announcement, just a graceful exit. His departure left many wondering why someone at the top would choose to walk away, turning his story into one of the industry's most intriguing chapters. Bollywood Superstar Vinod Khanna Here we are talking about Late Vinod Khanna, who made his stupendous debut with Sunil Dutt and later gave blockbusters like Qurbani, Amar Akbar Anthony and Chandni. If he had not left the cinema due to spirituality at the peak of his career, then perhaps he would have been seen in films like Amitabh today. Along with his professional life, Vinod's personal life was also in the news. The actor had two marriages. From his first marriage, he had two star sons like Rahul and Akshay Khanna. Meanwhile, his second marriage happened at a very exciting phase after he decided to return to the acting front. When Vinod Khanna Chose Spirituality Vinod Khanna married Geetanjali in the year 1971 at the beginning of his career. From this marriage, he had Rahul and Akshay Khanna. In between this, Vinod has gained huge stardom and also a title for himself as a style icon. After 14 years, in 1985, Vinod divorced his wife. The reason for this was the actor's adoption of spirituality. It is said that he went to Osho's refuge in America. He spent a lot of time here. By this time, Vinod Khanna was giving hit after hit films. His sudden exit from the film industry created a stir in Bollywood and among his fans. Vinod Khanna's Second Marriage After returning back from the spiritual journey, Vinod Khanna met Kavita Daftary through their common friends. Vinod and Kavita had started loving each other in their hearts. One day, the actor asked Kavita about marriage. On this, Kavita said that she is looking for a decent boy. After this, Vinod proposed Kavita for marriage. Kavita agreed, but her family objected to this marriage and Kavita also went against her family and married the actor. Vinod Khanna had two children, Sakshi and Shraddha Khanna, from his second marriage. At the same time, Kavita has a very good relationship with her stepsons, Akshay and Rahul. Vinod died in 2017, while his first wife, Geetanjali, died in 2018. Vinod Khanna died of cancer, although he was treated a lot, but by then it was too late. Vinod Khanna was last seen in the film 'Guns of Banaras' (2020), which was released after his death.

Humbled by all the love, the 'Paa' actor bowed down to the audience. He even shared a heartfelt post on his official Instagram account, expressing his gratitude. Big B wrote, "At Prateksha since 1982, every Sunday at my doorstep, and after that when Jalsa became my family's residence from 1992-93, people have been coming to meet me and my family every single Sunday. For the last 43 years, there has been no greater example or sign of the love of the people of the country than this, which has always been honored and will always be! I bow down in humility." On Friday, Bachchan expressed his desire to be a part of the sequel to Nag Ashwin's "Kalki 2898 AD". As the mythological drama completed one year of release, Big B took to his X (Previously known as Twitter) handle and showed his happiness for being a part of the science fiction. His latest post also had a major hint about the sequel of "Kalki 2898 AD". 'My honoured privilege to be asked to be a part of it ... one that I admired and respected the blessings of Vijayanti films and the elders that ran and connected with it … ever to be a part of it any day again, IF THEY WERE TO EVER TO ASK," the Tweet read. Made under the direction of Nag Ashwin, the drama enjoys a stellar cast with Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Prabhas, and Deepika Padukone in crucial roles, along with others. The story of the drama is believed to be inspired by the Hindu scriptures.
