Dharmendra reveals he recommended Amitabh Bachchan for ‘Sholay’
According to reports, the role of Jai was originally meant for Shatrughan Sinha, but Dharmendra’s recommendation changed the course of casting—and possibly, Hindi cinema history.
Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan on Wednesday spoke of new beginnings, dropping hint that a big announcement is in the offing.
Big B penned a rhyme with names of his upcoming films like Chehre, Jhund and Brahmastra, and wrote about following up these projects with something new.

Big B also shared a photograph where he can be seen playing football. Incidentally, the upcoming Jhund, directed by Nagraj Manjule, is about how the protagonist, played by Big B, uses football to instil a sense of responsibility and purpose in the lives of a bunch of slum kids. The film is slated for June 18.
His next release is Chehre, co-starring Rhea Chakraborty and Emraan Haashmi. The film has been confirmed for theatrical release in April 30.
Big B also features in Ayan Mukerji’s forthcoming venture Brahmastra alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, and the Ajay Devgn directorial film MayDay.
His other upcoming film is an untitled project with Prabhas and Deepika Padukone.
