As a dedicated follower of the captivating world of Indian cinema, I find myself consistently astounded by the intriguing tales that unfold behind the silver screen. The reunion of two titans, Kamal Haasan and Amitabh Bachchan, in Kalki 2898 AD was a momentous occasion for fans like me, who have witnessed the evolution of their friendship over the years. However, the revelation that Kamal Haasan once despised Amitabh’s iconic film, Sholay, left me utterly baffled and intrigued!

In a fascinating twist, the film Kalki 2898 AD brought together the esteemed actors Kamal Haasan and Amitabh Bachchan, who haven’t shared the screen for quite some time. The enthusiastic fans were thrilled to witness two of Indian cinema’s most revered figures, Kamal Haasan and Amitabh Bachchan, whose bond has grown stronger over the years, unite once more. Yet, did you know that the star of Vikram, Kamal Haasan, previously confessed his dislike for Amitabh Bachchan’s legendary movie Sholay? That’s correct!

At a promotional gathering for the movie Kalki 2898 AD starring Prabhas, Kamal Haasan, known for his role in Indian 2, unexpectedly disclosed something significant. To begin with, he expressed admiration towards Mr. Bachchan and reminisced about the iconic film Sholay directed by Ramesh Sippy. Notably, Haasan himself served as an assistant director on this blockbuster production.

Kamal Haasan once shared that he served as an assistant director for the iconic film “Sholay,” which stirred up feelings of nostalgia in many. On the night he first watched it, he admitted to hating the movie intensely and disliking its director (Ramesh Sippy) even more. However, he later had the chance to collaborate with this esteemed filmmaker and confessed his initial reaction. As a technical crew member, he couldn’t sleep that night due to the impact of the film. Amitabh Bachchan has made many such movies, and it was unexpected for Haasan, who was still an assistant director, to hear him speak positively about Haasan’s films. He expressed his gratitude to Mr. Bachchan. (As reported by Hindustan Times)

For those unfamiliar, the movie “Sholey,” directed by Ramesh Sippy, stars Dharmendra, Hema Malini, and Jaya Bachchan in leading roles. This 1975 film has remained popular, with fans still showing enthusiasm for it 49 years after its initial release.

It’s interesting to note that although Amitabh Bachchan wasn’t there in person, he joined the event remotely via video conference. This was noteworthy, and Kamal Haasan discussed it while they were both present. It’s important to mention that these two renowned actors have collaborated on films like “Geraftaar” (1985), “Khabardar” (1984), “Hey Ram” (2000) and “Kalki” (2898 AD).
