This interview has rejuvinivated old nostalgia from 1980s. I got few opportunities to be with Mr Mehra and his family (puneet as a kid) during that era and release of toofan & jadugar.. What ever puneet has mentioned is correct being his child memories. "It was difficult for him to fathom people around him." People were trying to put him down but he was a perfect sports man but very emotional person. A big salute to the legend.

bharat me hindi me interview hota to 6 mahine me 55 like nahi balki 55000 like ho jaate.

I saw all movie's of sir mehra ... All movies was Master piece

Talent met Talent and Magic happened!!

Very glad to see Prakash ji son what a man with many hits in line

Good to know mr Mehra & mr desai had respect for 1 another & not animosity, they both were top directors, and needed each other to achieve greater heights.

PMP Great Personality

Nostalgia! Would have loved it more in Hindi

Please call ketan Desai son of Manmohan Dasai ......

Liked the interview....

Puneet could become a wonderful villian or an actor !! see his personality, his voice,, his eyes,, his delivery of the answers and command over language !! what is he doing now a days?? anyone knows??

As they say success has many fathers, failure is an orphan. Salim-Javed frequently say in interviews that they suggested Bachchan's name to Prakash Mehra as he was searching for his hero. Here Puneet says it was Pran. But ultimately I think the credit goes to Prakash Mehra. It is still amazing today how he defied so many norms in making and casting this film. He somehow ended up with an SJ script that Dharam owned, but with no Dharam attached. All the other stars Mehra approached either rejected the film outright or wanted changes to suit their image. Instead of compromising, Mehra just keeps looking for the right actor. Despite AB's spate of flops, PM picks him and sticks by him. Distributors and financiers back out, PM soldiers on. What a long and winding road to destiny! Without this film, AB talented as he was might well have ended up an also-ran. Watching one of Dharam's interviews on youtube, it's very evident that losing Zanjeer pains him even today, however friendly he's with Bachchan. New stars can come and displace the previous star, but this was a rare scenario where a reigning star literally gave away his top spot to a new one. And this was not just a random top spot from a random decade, but maybe the most significant such spot in Hindi cinema history because it launched the angry young man, finally catapulted the industry from its comfort zone of musical romances and family dramas into action, which in turn changed South cinema, culminating in Pushpa and KGF - the consequences are still playing out.

Zabardast

hey nice sharing

Generally you can find triangle in Bollywood movies. But in ' Mukaddar Ka Sikander' there was love five angle.

Jadugar didn't do well because it was not written by Kader Khan .
