Shatrughan Sinha on Amitabh Bachchan
In an interview with Zoom, Shatrughan Sinha revealed that his rivalry with Amitabh Bachchan starred on the sets of Yash Chopra's 1979 action drama film Kaala Pathaar. He stated that a particular fight scene in the film was altered in Big B's favor. He said “It was not intentional. We were shooting amicably. There was a fight scene between me and Amitabh which had choreographed by fight master Shetty. While fighting, at one point, my dupe falls and his dupe puts a spade on my dupe’s neck. I was watching all of it while sitting in a corner because I don’t interfere in a film’s shooting."
He further added: "We have been friends since our struggle days. But in those days, ab romanch ka chakkar raha ho ya romance ka chakkar raha ho, uss samay kuch hua.. (Now whether it was due to romance or thrill, but something happened at that time). I told them this was not in the script but Amitabh’s team approved of the scene.”
Sinha said that he protested against the change in scene but to no avail. He said that the decision of who was stronger could not be made that day. Apart from Kaala Pathaar, the duo also did films like Dostana, Shaan and Naseeb. Later on, Sinha stopped doing films with Big B. “A lot of films were being made, but I had to amicably leave some of them. I also returned the signing amount to a few of them,” he added.
