Rishi Kapoor refused to star alongside Amitabh Bachchan, demanded his replacement: Tinnu Anand

Actor-filmmaker Tinnu Anand who made his directorial debut with 1979 actioner Duniya Meri Jeb Mein revealed the struggles he went through for the film after getting two megastars Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor on board. He shared that Rishi refused to work with Amitabh a day after saying yes to the film. “My brother Bittu was a producer and we were not financially secure to make a film like Duniya Meri Jeb Mein. So, we had to listen to the whims and fancies of the actors. Like when I told Rishi Kapoor that I was going to narrate the story to Amitabh Bachchan, he was very happy. That night he went to a party of the film Zinda Dil and when his cameraman-director Sudarshan Nag asked him what was he feeling so happy about, he told him that the next day he and Amitabh would sign on the dotted line to act in Tinnu’s film,” the director told ETimes.
