Sholay. In this, amitabh bachchan and dharmendra played the lead roles and amjad khan played the role of
villain Gabbar Singh. The story of the film was written by the Salim-Javed duo, but after Sholay, Amjad Khan
did not work with salim khan and javed akhtar again. There is a story behind this. Let us tell you today.
Salim-Javed had got the role of Gabbar
amjad khan was given the role of Gabbar in Sholay by Salim-Javed, which was later finalized by Ramesh
Sippy, but amjad khan faced trouble in his life at that very time. Only a few months had passed since the birth of
Amjad Khan's son and his father was undergoing treatment for cancer. During the shooting, he was getting
nervous in front of established actors like dharmendra and amitabh bachchan and was not able to focus on his
performance.
When Salim-Javed pair was worried

Khan because he was not able to give even a single shot in the first schedule. After this the director advised him
to shoot for another schedule. At that time, discussions started among the team of the film whether Amjad Khan
would be able to do justice to his role? Salim-Javed became worried about this because the actor was cast on their
recommendation.
