NOT Asrani, but Mehmood was the first choice for ‘Abhimaan’, but his bond with Amitabh Bachchan had started to wither
Veteran actor Asrani's iconic role in Hrishikesh Mukherjee's 'Abhimaan' was initially offered to Mehmood. However, Jaya Bachchan reportedly refused the idea, and a rift between Amitabh Bachchan and Mehmood led to Asrani stepping in. This collaboration marked the beginning of a strong professional bond between Asrani and Mukherjee.
