‘That was my wrong decision’, Shatrughan Sinha had rejected a big role in ‘Sholay’, it became a turning point for this actor.

New Delhi. Ramesh Sippy’s film ‘Sholay’, released in 1975, created a stir at the box office. Even today people have not been able to forget this film which took Hindi cinema to a new dimension. Very few people know that Shatrughan Sinha also got a big role in this film. This role was later played by a special friend of his.

The makers got a big profit by making an all-time blockbuster film like ‘Sholay’. However, making this film was not an easy task for him. The film was changed several times before release. Everyone from the star cast to the makers benefited from the success of this film. Every character of this film got a different kind of identity. Shatrughan Sinha was also offered a big role in the film, which he still regrets for not playing.

That tremendous scene of ‘Sholay’, on which the Censor Board had used scissors, that deleted scene surfaced after 49 years

Amitabh’s character was offered
Shatrughan Sinha was offered the role of Jai in the 1975 film ‘Sholay’. The actor himself had revealed this in the show Aap Ki Adalat that he had rejected the role of Jai in Ramesh Sippy’s blockbuster film Sholay and later this role went to Amitabh. Actually, Shatrughan considered Jai’s role as second lead in this film and after hearing about the death of the hero in the end, he felt that it would not be right to do this. He did not find it right to die at the hands of goons in the film. However, he also said that this was his wrong decision.

Amitabh became famous by playing the role of Jai
In this film, Amitabh Bachchan played the role of Jai and Dharmendra played the role of Veeru. Amitabh won everyone’s hearts by playing the character of Jai in the film. Not only did he get applause from this film. In fact, their friendship also became an example. If Shatrughan had done this film, perhaps his career would have been in a different direction today.

Let us tell you that Sholay, directed by Ramesh Sippy, was written by the popular duo Salim Khan and Javed, who had written many hit films of that era. Together they have given many hits and blockbuster films during that period. The record of this film could not be broken by any other film for a long time.
