New Delhi. We often hear about our favorite film stars that some wake up early in the morning to shoot and some stay up all night on the set. Where Akshay Kumar likes to shoot early in the morning. At the same time, there are many heroes and heroines who want to stay up late and work late into the night. But you may never have heard of a superstar rejecting a film because he had to work on a Sunday. Somehow, when another actor was found for the role, that actor also put two conditions before the filmmaker. However, the film was made and subsequently proved to be a superhit at the box office. Come today let us tell you a strange story of this superhit film of Bollywood.

The film was none other than the 1976 film ‘Hera Pheri’. This film was made in 1.6 crores. This film made a huge collection of 6 crore rupees 47 years ago. The film starred Vinod Khanna in the lead role along with Amitabh Bachchan and both their roles were highly appreciated, but before the film was made there were several incidents which were very strange. The film was rejected by a star before Vinod Khanna.

Who did Prakash Mehra want to cast with Amitabh Bachchan?
In fact, after the film ‘Zanjeer’, Prakash Mehra wanted to cast Amitabh Bachchan in his next film as well. Because he saw the future star in Amitabh. He started work on another film and signed Amitabh Bachchan for it, but wanted to sign the then superstar Feroze Khan along with Amitabh. Prakash Mehra went to talk to Feroze Khan and narrated the story of the film, but Feroze Sahib refused to do the film.

Why did Feroze Khan reject Prakash Mehra for the film?

While Prakash Mehra started looking for another actor
After Feroze Khan’s rejection, Prakash Mehra started looking for another actor. He approached Vinod Khanna for this, but Vinod Khanna also put two conditions before Prakash before doing the film. Vinod’s first condition was that his role in the film would be similar to that of Amitabh Bachchan. Another condition was that he would charge Rs 1 lakh more than Amitabh Bachchan’s fee. Prakash Mehra then accepted both their conditions and started shooting the film.
