Dharmendra was the first choice of Amitabh Bachchan's blockbuster film, was the most expensive film of 1980s, film is.., its lead actress was... In the unpredictable world of showbiz, how a film turns out at the box office nobody can ever predict. From the storyline, direction, to production, many paramount factors can contribute to making or breaking a film at the box office. But besides all the factors, the most important element of a film is its cast. A single casting can change the entire trajectory of a film. One such story is of an iconic film that came out in 1980, but it not only captivated the audience with its strong storyline, but also the cast shuffle that changed its fate. Originally, the director of the film selected someone else for the lead role; however, in a turn of events, the film eventually went to someone whose fate was destined for it. The film we are talking about is none other than the superhit film Shaan. Released in 1980, this Ramesh Sippy film was considered one of the most expensive films of that era with its multi-starrer cast. The film captivated the hearts of millions with its strong storyline and grand production. It featured top names of Bollywood like Amitabh Bachchan, Shashi Kapoor, Sunil Dutt, Ravi Babi and Bindiya Goswami. However, what many don't know is that Amitabh Bachchan and Bindiya Goswani were not the first choice of filmmakers. In fact, Dharmendra was chosen for the role of Vijay and Hema Malini was chosen for the role of Renu. Being the top stars of that era, Dharmendra and Hema both had a massive fan following at that time. However, it was reported that due to some differences with Ramesh Sippy, Dharmendra and Hema Malini rejected the offer. Eventually the film went to the Shahenshah of Bollywood, Amitabh Bachchan, making it a career-defining moment for him, he was first supposed to play the role of Ravi but after Dharmendra's exit, it was Vijay's role that went to him and later Shashi Kapoor played Ravi's role and Binditya Goswani replaced Hema Malini for the role of Bindu Even today, the film continues to resonate with the audience. From its blockbuster song 'Pyaar Karne Wale' to its action-packed plot, the film is still hailed by the Indian audience. Made on the whopping budget of Rs. 4,35 crores, it collected almost times its budget, Rs 12.5 crores. This story also shows how one star's rejection becomes a career-defining moment for the other star.
