Dharmendra
Initially, Dharmendra was keen to play the role of Thakur Baldev Singh. He eventually relented when the director informed him that Sanjeev Kumar would play Veeru if that happened, and would get the heroine. Sanjeev Kumar had just then proposed marriage to Hema Malini. Dharmendra was in love with her and quickly went back to the role of Veeru
Hema Malini and Premnath were working free in Dev Anand's JAANEMAN, directed by Chetan Anand. How considerate our stars were for their co-stars!
December 30, 1990 is one day Jeetendra will never forget. Two films starring the actor ZINDABAD [co-starring Dharmendra, Kamal Sadanah, Raveena Tandon] and PRINCE MERA NAAM [co-starring Armaan Kohli, Ashwini Bhave] were launched in the day, while a new Jeetendra starrer, AASOO BANE ANGAAREY [co-starring Madhuri Dixit], released on this date.
Darmendra's film career began in 1955 with Railway Platform.
In his youth, actor Dharmendra was such a big fan of actress Suraiya that he walked miles to watch her film Dillagi, over 40 times.
