फ्लॉप अमिताभ Sholay को ले डूबेगा - Film Experts ने सिप्पी को चेताया था, फिल्म आई तो शर्म से डूब गए

During the preparations for the film Sholay, many film pundits and insiders warned director Ramesh Sippy that casting a "flop hero" like Amitabh Bachchan was a bad idea. They advised removing him, warning that the film would flop otherwise. However, Sippy, for some special reasons, kept faith in Amitabh. By the time Sholay was released, Amitabh had become a star, and those who had spoken against him to Sippy were now chasing him with suitcases full of money to cast him in their films.
