Rajkumar & Dilip Kumar: Two legendary stars of Hindi cinema, Dilip Kumar and Rajkumar, worked in more than one film in their era and ruled the hearts of the people. At the same time, both of them worked together in the film 'Saudagar', which was given a lot of love by the audience. Being together in a film with Rajkumar and Dilip Kumar was a big deal for the people. At the same time, Dilip Kumar's language and his tone were changed during the shooting. Because of this, Rajkumar became very angry. However, he agreed after much persuasion from the film's director Subhash Ghai. This story was mentioned by actor Mukesh Khanna in one of his interviews.
Sharing this anecdote related to the film 'Saudagar', Mukesh Khanna said, 'Rajkumar had become somewhat angry during the shooting. He was told that he was a rich man and his friend was Dilip Kumar who was poor'. Mukesh Khanna further said, 'The way Dilip sahib used to change his language, he used to be a hit. In such a situation, when Rajkumar ji came to know that the tone of Dilip Kumar's language had been changed in 'Saudagar', he became somewhat angry. Then he told Subhash Ghai that 'why didn't you tell me about this'.
Mukesh Khanna further said, 'Then Subhash Ghai persuaded the prince and said, 'You live in the palace and that in the village. The dialect of the village will not come in them.' Mukesh told that, both such stars were handled on the set. According to media reports, there was enmity between Raj Kumar and Dilip Kumar for years. In such a situation, it was not easy for Subhash Ghai to cast these two stars in the same film. Regarding this, Subhash Ghai had said in an interview that, 'When I went to narrate the story of the film to Dilip Kumar, he had agreed. But when he asked about the rest of the cast, sitting in my car, I took the name of Rajkumar and left from there.
