He further added, “During those times, I was continuously shooting for films which had two hero’s and, somehow, we can called it a human error or my dates were an issue due to which I couldn’t sign the film Sholay. I’m sad but happy at the same time as due to Sholay, National Icon Amitabh Bachchan who is my dear friend got such a big break.”

Shatrughan Sinha elaborated, “Certain rejections of films occur due to dates issues. Even Amitabh Bachchan wanted to do ‘Kali Charan’ but he couldn’t do it for a reason. It’s generic in nature, even Rajesh Khanna, Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan, Sunny Deol must have rejected the films for several reasons. Its habitual nature wise.”
