“I didn’t let Hrishida sleep the whole night. I told him, ‘You were going to give me the role, you told me the story, then why did you give him the film?’ He kept telling me, ‘Dharam, go to sleep, we will talk in the morning.’ He would cut the line and I would call him back asking, ‘Why did you give him the role?’” he added. Although Hrishikesh and Dharmendra couldn’t collaborate on Anand, they worked in Chupke Chupke and Guddi later.
