In a delightful revelation, the British High Commissioner to India, Alex Ellis, showcased his unexpected love for Hindi cinema. Taking to social media, Ellis wrote, “Hindi film fans, after highs & lows of Sholay, Gangs of Wasseypur & Chupke, Chupke, what should I watch next? What is an ESSENTIAL Hindi film to see. And, yes, Ive seen Lagaan. And no, Im not going to quote it..PS recently watched & liked Jaane Jaan.”
In an interview, Abhishek Bachchan recalled how his father, Amitabh Bachchan, was able to shoot Deewaar and Sholay at the same time in different cities.
This biggest blockbuster of Bollywood was once declared a disaster, and the director had to decide to change the tragic ending until he got his confidence back from a cinema owner.
