Shatrughan Sinha reveals why he rejected Sholay on Indian Idol 12

During the episode, the show’s judge Himesh Reshammiya asks Shatrughan Sinha the reason for not taking up the 1975 movie Sholay. To this, the legendary actor reveals that it was a ‘human error.’ The actor mentioned that he was already shooting for some other film and so could not sign Sholay.

“During those times, I was continuously shooting for films which had two hero’s and, somehow, we can call it a human error or my dates were an issue due to which I couldn’t sign the film Sholay. I’m sad but happy at the same time as due to Sholay, National Icon Amitabh Bachchan who is my dear friend got such a big break,” he said.

Shatrughan Sinha also added that dates were primarily the main concern because of which he had to reject Sholay and that it is a normal issue. “Certain rejections of films occur due to dates issues.

It’s generic in nature, even Rajesh Khanna, Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan, Sunny Deol must have rejected the films for several reasons. Its habitual nature wise,” he added.
