Dharmendra had this wish
In an interview given to Galata Plus, Sriram Raghavan said, ‘Our dubbing took place in October. Even before that he used to ask how the movie was going and when I would show him the movie. I told him he could watch it before dubbing, but he had work to do, so he said he would watch it the next day. He still watched 50-70 percent of the film and liked it.
regret about this
Sriram further said, ‘At that time I was seeing that he was having difficulty during dubbing. I told him that he would get well soon. We had worked with him so I thought I would show him the entire film within a month. This is my biggest regret. He was very excited to watch the film. It was as if 1942 A Love Story was being made, but RD Burman was not present then.
Jaideep and Dharmendra’s scenes
He also said that Jaideep had more scenes with Dharmendra. Both of them worked together because I wanted that kind of chemistry. We started with their scene. We were impressed seeing Dharmendra ji and when Jaideep came, the atmosphere became lighter.
In the end, Shriram said, ‘The good thing about Dharmendra ji is that he used to prepare himself so much that he could understand the lines of other actors. He would rewrite his own lines in Urdu. I used to give him basic content, lines and then ask him how he would play his character. He would have given the option again.
