When Dharmendra took a funny dig at Amitabh Bachchan and said Big B is ‘very busy’

The Jai and Veeru of Bollywood-Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra are legendary actors. They share a great bond with each other and we have seen that in the iconic movie ‘Sholay’. Apart from this movie, they also shared screens in movies like ‘Chupke Chupke’, ‘Ram Balram’, ‘Andha Kanoon’ to name a few. In the year 2004, Amitabh and Dharmendra worked for a movie ‘Hum Kaun Hai?’ directed by Ravi Shankar Sharma. It was the remake of the American film ‘The Others’

In an interview with Lehren, Dharmendra revealed how he came on board for this movie. He said that a common friend of him and Big B called him and said that Amitabh Bachchan is also in the movie. He then agreed to work. “We (Amitabh Bachchan and him) don’t get to meet each other often nowadays as Amitji (Amitabh Bachchan) is very busy and I am not at all busy. So when I met him on the sets of ‘Hum Kaun Hai?’ all the good memories came back to my mind.”

In the video interview, we can also see a BTS video where Amitabh and Dharmendra played a prank call on someone during the shoot of ‘Hum Kaun Hai?’. In the video, Amitabh Bachchan said that Dharmendra and he are working together after a very long time and he is happy that they both are again facing the camera together.

Dharmendra said, “I cannot sit without a camera. The thing I was dying to face when I was at Sahnewal. It feels again that I am in Sahnewal and I am dying to get in front of the camera. I want to be an actor again. It feels like it was a dream that came and went by. Was I actually an actor? When I try to remember, I am not getting the memories. It feels as if I have lost my 40-42 years.”
