The popular late filmmaker and actor, who was known as the style icon of Hindi cinema, rejected Amitabh Bacchhan's hit film. Read on to know the reason.

Many artistes across generations have been vocal about the love and admiration they have for Big B. Every actor wishes to collaborate with Mr Bachchan. However, there was an actor who refused to share screen space with him. He rejected the opportunity of co-starring with Amitabh Bachchan and said no to one of the most successful directors of the 70s and 80s.
The actor who refused to share the screen with Amitabh Bachchan was...
Feroz Khan. Yes, as per the media report, the style icon of Bollywood, the superstar actor-filmmaker was approached to cast with Amitabh Bachchan in Prakash Mehra's Hera Pheri (1978). As News18 reported, Feroz Khan was approached to co-star in the comedy-drama with Amitabh. However, the actor said no to the film.
Feroz Khan refused Hera Pheri because...
Reportedly, when Feroz was approached for the film, he got to know that the shooting schedule included Sundays. Feroz Khan had a rule of dedicating his week off to himself and his family. So, Feroz Khan rejected for working Sundays. After Feroz Khan refused Hera Pheri, Amitabh was given Feroz Khan's role and his original role was offered to Vinod Khanna.
