00:00 When we talk about Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan, there comes a lot of things in our

00:07 mind. May it be that iconic strip from Kajraare or the blockbuster Sholay or KBC's Hot Sit

00:14 or it may be that angry young man from Don. Don, released in the year 1978, was a hit

00:21 film and people remembered Big B for this film. But now, a rumour is running on social

00:27 media that Amitabh Bachchan decided not to work with Don director Chandra Bharat after

00:33 that movie because of the one song "Khai Ke Paan Banaras Wala". A user posted the entire

00:39 incident on Reddit. According to this rumoured controversy, Amitabh Bachchan was disappointed

00:46 with the song "Khai Ke Paan Banaras Wala". After the shoot, he felt that it hadn't come

00:52 out good and he didn't want that song in the final cut. As per the post, Big B felt that

00:59 song was uncool. But after the release, when that song became a mega hit, Big B decided

01:07 that he wouldn't collaborate with Chandra Bharat and he wouldn't work with anyone who

01:12 would work with Chandra. He indirectly warned Bollywood using his prominent place. A Reddit

01:19 user posted, "The director thought it was important to show the contrast between the

01:24 two characters and did not listen to Amitabh Bachchan. Amitabh took it on his ego and made

01:30 it very clear that he won't work with anyone who works with Chandra or even associates

01:36 with him. He further cited the source of information that he got this news from one of his film-making

01:43 professors who work in the industry. He mentioned that it might be true or it might be

01:49 drunken talk or exaggerations. But it's true that after the movie dawned, Chandra didn't

01:55 make any notable films. He hardly made two or three films and one of them was a Bengali

02:01 film. His one film was under production named "Neel Ko Pakadna Impossible" but till date,

02:08 it hasn't been released.
