The famous dialogue ‘Basanti in Mukaas Ke Saamne Mat Nachna’ from the film Sholay was not in the script itself. Might not believe it but it’s true. This dialogue is the result of Dharmendra’s anger. After all, what was Dharmendra angry about? There is a story hidden behind this too.

This made Dharmendra angry

There was a big gap between Gabbar’s Adda and Thakur’s Haveli in Sholay. But in reality Gabbar’s hideout was behind Thakur’s house. The shooting of the film started, a scene was being shot on Amjad Khan. Dharmendra was tied at that time. At that time, Gabbar i.e. Amjad Khan speaks the dialogue that, ‘Hey O Samba… Uccha toh jara gunk aur laga nishana is dog par’. After this Dharmendra’s anger cools down fast and Ramesh Sippy says that he is upset with it.
