India's first film to be shot in Afghanistan, Rajesh Khanna was offered lead role, later he was rejected by director due to…, movie is…, lead actor was…
According to reports, Rajesh Khanna was in discussions with Feroz Khan regarding the casting for the film. However, despite their talks, the casting did not materialize for some undisclosed reason. Although speculations have been made that Feroz wanted to cast Rajesh Khanna due to his superstar status, believing that his presence would contribute to the film's success. Ultimately, Feroz decided to proceed without Rajesh Khanna, as he felt that if the film succeeded, all the credit would go to Khanna. By taking on the lead role himself, Feroz aimed to target his role along with his superstar stature. When Hema Malini Shared About Incident With Feroz Khan
During her appearance on the music show Indian Idol 15, Hema Malini recounted her experience of working with superstar Feroz Khan. The actress recalled that while filming the iconic track Kya Khoob Lagti Ho, Badi Sundar Dikhti Ho song for the film Dharmatma, Feroz Khan got annoyed and kicked something in anger, which he later realised was her makeup box. She said, 'It was during the shoot of the song 'Kya Khoob Lagti Ho, Badi Sundar Dikhti Ho.' Feroz Khan was a very passionate filmmaker, and during blast scene at the end of the song, people were laughing in the background. This made him angry, and in his frustration, he kicked something without realizing what it was. Later, he discovered that it was my makeup box.' Due to the chaos, the filming was delayed for almost half a day. She jokingly added, 'There was pin-drop silence for two days afterward because everyone was scared. He apologized as soon as he realized it was mine.' More about Dharmatma
Dharmatma was the first Indian movie filmed in Afghanistan. It became a superhit and marked Feroz Khan's first successful venture as both a director and producer. The cast included notable actors such as Hema Malini, Rekha, Farida Jalal, Ranjeet, and Danny Denzongpa. The action-thriller flick, which was made on Rs 1.5 crore budget, earned Rs 5 crore and became one of the biggest blockbusters of that year.

Saiyaara box office: After Pushpa 2, Stree 2, Baahubali 2 & Chhaava, Ahaan Panday-Aneet Padda starrer becomes 10th film to achieve this glorious feat
After emerging as the 2nd highest grosser of the year, Saiyaara has now become the 10th film to earn over Rs 100 crore in its 2nd week at the box office. In fact, even biggies like Pathaan, KGF 2, War, Padmaavat, Sanju, PK, Sultan and Tiger Zinda Hai have not achieved this milestone read more In the times, where many Bollywood movies are struggling to get footfalls in the cinema halls, Saiyaara, featuring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, continues to achieve milestones at the box office. After emerging as the 2nd highest grosser of the year, the musical romantic drama has now become the 10th film to earn over Rs 100 crore in its 2nd week at the box office. In fact, even biggies like Pathaan, KGF 2, War, Padmaavat, Sanju, PK, Sultan and Tiger Zinda Hai have not achieved this milestone. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Highest 2nd week grossers of all time Pushpa 2 (Hindi) - Rs 199 crore Chhaava - Rs 186.18 crore Stree 2 - Rs 145.80 crore Baahubali 2 (Hindi) - Rs 143.25 crore Animal - Rs 140.51 crore Jawan - Rs 137.06 crore Gadar 2 - Rs 134.47 crore Dangal - Rs 115.96 crore Saiyaara - Rs 110.50 crore The Kashmir Files - Rs 110.03 crore _Saiyaara_ is expected to enter the Rs 300 crore club in its third weekend; however, it would be crucial for the movie to hold well amid two releases - Son of Sardaar 2 and Dhadak 2. Despite not going all out with the promotions, Saiyaara garnered unprecedented excitement among the cinegoers. Before the release of the movie, director Mohit Suri spoke about it and told Firstpost, 'I've been inside the studio for the last one month. I have no idea. And unlike the past when people travel from one studio to another, this is everything inhouse at YRF. So I haven't really gone out and met the world outside. Normally, when you are working on other films, you go out for the day; for sound, edit, and VFX. It was different different places. And just hearing it now, it does feel it does feel very redeeming and validating because when I started off this film, I was quite discouraged by a lot of senior people saying that nobody would be interested in a young love story. Because at that time, larger-than-life films were being made and I just thought that my voice would be lost there when everyone was shouting. So I just went and tried to make a film which is very different from what others were doing. And to me, the fact that people are appreciating that the difference that it's standing out means a lot.'
