This actor once made fun of Dharmendra, called him a wrestler, He-Man broke his arrogance by showing him..., the actor was...
The late Bollywood star Raaj Kumar exuded an enigmatic charm that gave him a commanding presence on-screen. Before venturing into films, he had served as a sub-inspector with the Bombay Police, and brought that no-nonsense cop persona with him on the silver screen. Apart from work, he was also famous in the industry for his arrogance, making it difficult for his co-stars to get along with him during the shoots. As much as he was respected for his craft, people feared him due to his behaviour. However, there was one actor who refused to hold it back and gave him the taste of his own medicine. The veteran actor was Dharmendra.
During the making of the 1965 movie Kaajal , Raaj Kumar made a remark on Dharmendra's muscular appearance that didn't settle well with the actor. According to reports, he asked filmmaker Ram Maheshwari whether his requirement were actors or wrestlers for the movie. Dharmendra was furious after hearing this, but he chose not to react.
However, Raaj Kumar later mocked Dharmendra, calling him monkey, and laughing at his joke. This time, the Sholay actor lost his temper and even held Raaj Kumar by his collar. The matter could have escalated further if the crew members not intervened and distanced the two.
After the heated argument with Dharmendra, Raaj Kumar reportedly walked out of the sets and declined to shoot further. The film got completely eventually after convincing both the actors to make peace and work together. Kaajal was a box office hit and starred Meena Kumari, Padmini, Mumtaz and Helen in key roles.
According to reports, Dharmendra and Raaj Kumar got into a nasty fight for the second time at a private party. Rumours claim that Raaj Kumar made some offending comments on Dharmendra's son Sunny Deol at his presence.
Raaj Kumar died in 1996 due to throat cancer. His son Puru Rajkumar also starred in a few films.

India's most expensive film was rejected by Dharmendra and Hema Malini, Amitabh Bachchan got the lead role, the film became superhit, earned Rs…, lead actress was…
Every year, Bollywood produces a variety of films, each with its budget and cast. While filmmakers research industry trends and what consumers want, forecasting whether a film will be a success or a flop at the box office remains a difficult task. Today, we'll look at the story of a classic film from 1980. Interestingly, it was originally planned with a different cast but ran into various production issues before making it to the big screen. Let's find out about the film. The Action-Thriller Film… Here we're talking about Shaan , a film directed by Ramesh Sippy and scripted by Salim-Javed , following the success of the mega blockbuster Sholay . Ramesh Sippy was eager to replicate the success of Sholay with Shaan. Sunil Dutt , on the other hand, played the role that was originally offered to Sanjeev Kumar , Bindiya Goswami, to Hema Malini and Shashi Kapoor , to Dharmendra . Shaan was reportedly rejected by the original Sholay cast, which did not include Amitabh Bachchan , due to scheduling conflicts and some creative differences. The Box-Office Reception and Multi-Starrer Cast Of Shaan Shaan, released in December 1980, became the most expensive Indian film created up to that point. Sunil Dutt, Shashi Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan, Shatrughan Sinha , Raakhee Gulzar, Parveen Babi, Bindiya Goswami, Mazhar Khan, and Kulbhushan Kharbanda played the crucial parts. Shaan had an average box office performance upon its initial release, but did well in reruns. Shaan, which was produced on a budget of Rs 4.2 crores , reportedly grossed Rs 12.5 crores at the box office. Amitabh Bachchan, along with Bindiya Goswami, rose to prominence as a result of their performances in the film. However, things took a dramatic turn for Bindiya when she decided to take a break from performing after getting divorced from her unsuccessful marriage with actor Vinod Mehra and she later eloped with film director JP Dutta because their families were not ready for their romance. This action-thriller was not able to magnify its success factor just like Shaan but due to its intriguing storyline and soothing music tracks this film earned cult status for the masses.
