I got a call while playing cards
Speaking to BollywoodThikana, Lilliput said that he had signed some films but Subhash Ghai asked him to drop them. The reason was that he wanted to film with her. Speak Lilliput. I was playing cards when I got a call from Subhash Ghee. He called the office. I had no money to go to Bandra. One of the guys I was playing cards with had a car. I went there. Subhashji said, I am making a film, Sher Bahadur. It will have Amitabh Bachchan as the hero and you as the villain.
Left films and became unemployed
Lilliput said that he has signed many films like Sagar, Aamir Adami and Shararat. Subhash Ghai said, I want none of your films to be released before mine so that your image is not tarnished. Lilliput says, what was my condition? How can I ask those who shot it not to release the film? Will the shoes feed you? I will go and take blessings from those who have not shot or I will gladly give if I get work. I gave up other films for Sher Bahadur but this too did not happen. I don’t have any work. Amitji’s health was not good. The film was not made.
Another film could not be made
Lilliput’s film Alishan was also to be made with Amitabh Bachchan but that project was also shelved. Because of this he began to consider himself cursed. He says, I told Amitji to his face, don’t try to act with me now.
While Bunty and Babli talked
When Shaad Ali made Bunty Aur Babli, he spoke to Lilliput. He was afraid of his past experiences so he told Shaad, I am sad. My film will not be made with Amit ji, your film will not be made either. Shad told them that he did not believe in superstition. After this the film was successful.
