‘I was thrown out of bobby deol’s film barsaat’ | ‘I was removed from Bobby Deol’s film rain’: Director Shekhar Kapoor’s claim, said- I could not understand Dharmendra’s idea

Bobby Deol made his Bollywood debut with the film ‘Barsaat’. The film was Dharmendra, the father of producer Bobby. Bobby’s launch was very grand in the 90s. Makers and Dharmendra had left no stone unturned in Bobby’s launch. Bobby’s debut film ‘Barsaat’ was first director Shekhar Kapoor to direct. But later the film was directed by Rajkumar Santoshi. It is said that Shekhar Kapoor left the film after 27 days of shooting. Now 30 years later, Shekhar Kapoor has spoken on these rumors.

Recently, Shekhar Kapoor revealed that he had not left the film but was expelled from the film. In an interview to Filmfare, Shekhar said-‘I have never left the film, I have been removed from films. The rain was an idea that was working on and I think I could not understand the idea of Dharam ji (Dharmendra) properly. At that time Sunny was in London and he called the next person, who took over this responsibility, he was the prince Santoshi. So I talked to Raj ji and told him that because you have done films with them all before, can you talk to Dharam ji?

And he said, ‘Yes I take care. And the next day I came to know that he was directing the film. That’s all happened. People say that I left this film, but to be honest, I did not come out of it. Keep in mind, I immediately went and made a bandit queen. ‘

Barsaat was a debut film of both Bobby and Twinkle. Both received the Filmfare Best Debut Award for this film.

Let me tell you that after Shekhar Kapoor left the film, it was a rumor for a long time that he left the film in the middle. In 2023, Bobby himself also confirmed this. Speaking at the Jagran Film Festival, Bobby said, ‘I started shooting for the film long ago and Shekhar Kapoor was its director. We shot the film for 27 days. Then he received an offer to make Bandit Queen from Hollywood.

Shekhar said that I will do the Bandit Queen and will come back to rain. But my father told him that he does not want to delay it. He told Shekhar, ‘You do your film, I will find someone else. And I think Rajkumar Santoshi was waiting to direct my film. I was lucky with him. ‘

The film, which came in the year 1995, was a box office superhit. The film was also music successful. The songs of this film are still popular among the people.
