Amitabh Bachchan’s connection with Dharma Productions, run by Karan Johar, dates back to 1976 when Yash Johar established the company. Their debut project was the movie “Dostana” featuring Big B. Due to a close-knit relationship between the Johars and the Bachchans that resembles family ties, Amitabh Bachchan came to Dharma Productions’ aid during difficult times. As Nikkhil Advani, director of Vedaa, remembers, the legendary actor agreed to work on “Agneepath” despite scheduling conflicts to help out the production house. Keep reading!
Filmmaker Nikkhil Advani recently discussed his history with Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions during an interview with Lehren Retro. He recalled a difficult period when the production company was facing financial hardships and was forced to sell off equipment like lights, cameras, and even had to mortgage their home.
At that point in time, Hiroo Johar, Karan Johar’s mother, had a heart attack. Upon learning this distressing information, Amitabh Bachchan halted filming and visited his old school friend Yash Johar and his wife at the hospital. During their hospital stay, the actor from Paa shared something with the late producer that truly illustrates the caliber of man he is.
Big B (Amitabh Bachchan) informed Yash (Yash Johar) that he was working on a movie with a young actor. He added, “Romesh is the producer, but you should contact him and let him know that Ahram has set dates for your film. We’re considering a storyline based on Scarface; let’s team up on it.” As per Nikkhil Advani, this is how Johar and Bachchan joined forces to direct the 1990 action crime film, which was helmed by Mukul Anand.
The prominent actor confided in his friend-producer that he understands their predicament, so he’s offering them his schedule to commence filming. Over the last ten years, Agneepath has gained cult status and is considered a defining work in Amitabh Bachchan’s esteemed career.
In memory of his deceased father, Karan re-created the movie known as “Agneepath” in 2012. This film was both directed and written by Karan Malhotra and starred Hrithik Roshan, Sanjay Dutt, Rishi Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, Om Puri, and Zarina Wahab.
