Bollywood is a fantasy.In the next 3 posts, I'd rather talk about that...some facts worth sharing.

1.Sunil Dutta played the role of a dacoit in 20 movies in his career.
2.Waheeda Rahman is the only heroine who played both mother and lover to Amitabh Bachchan. She played the love interest of Big B in ‘Adalat’ (1976) and mother in ‘Trishul’ (1978).
3.Mughal-e-Azam’ (1960) was a trilingual – with all scenes shot thrice in Hindi, Tamil and English
4.Dilip Kumar was offered a lead role in the international project ‘Lawrence of Arabia’ (1962) the actor declined the offer. The role subsequently went to Egyptian actor Omar Sharif.(LOA is an all time hit)
5.Actor Amjad Khan was almost dropped from ‘Sholay’ (1975) because scriptwriter Javed Akhtar found his voice weak for Gabbar Singh's role. Danny Denzongpa was approached for that role initially.(hard to imagine, isn't it?)
