Late legendary star Rishi Kapoor was known for his candour and unabashed opinions. Filmmaker David Dhawan recently recalled the time the Bobby actor initially refused to work with him because he was a new director at the time.
David Dhawan, who began his journey in Hindi cinema as an editor before gradually moving into direction, shared that after directing a few films, producer Nitin Manmohan approached him to direct Bol Radha Bol, which starred Rishi Kapoor in the lead role.
However, convincing Rishi Kapoor turned out to be slightly difficult as the veteran actor was unsure about working with a relatively new director at the time, despite liking the script.
David Dhawan fondly recalled how Rishi Kapoor had a habit of teasing and ragging people around him, including his own son.
The actor-director duo later worked together in films like Chashme Baddoor, Yeh Hai Jalwa, Yaraana and Eena Meena Deeka.
Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, produced by Ramesh Taurani under the banner of Tips Films, has landed in legal trouble after producer Vashu Bhagnani raised objections over the alleged recreation and reuse of songs associated with his and David Dhawan’s old film Biwi No.1.
