Do you know the story behind Amitabh Bachchan’s iconic blue shirt in ‘Deewar’?

Amitabh Bachchan is a legend, and the roles that he has played are no less. Everyone remembers the famous dialogue delivery between him and Shashi Kapoor, who played his on-screen brother in the movie ‘Deewar’, the one that ended with “Mere paas maa hai.” However, when the movie had completed forty years of its release, Senior Bachchan revealed yet another fact that is as fascinating as the movie itself.

Remember the iconic blue shirt that Bachchan sir adorned for the movie, along with a rope and khakhi pants? It became a rage then. However, turns out that it was actually a mishap on the part of the tailor.

Amitabh Bachchan revealed that the shirt was a tad too long for his liking, so he went ahead and knotted it, giving rise to a fashion rage then for those die-hard fans who loved and revered the actor.

Now that is one interesting trivia, isn’t it? We witnessed a galore of phenomenal performances by the megastar this year, in three movies; ‘Wazir’, ‘Teen’, and ‘PINK’. Though the first two were not that successful commercially, it was ‘PINK’ that shined out of the lot and impressed one and all with its concept of women empowerment.
